LAHORE: Wheat prices in the open market of provincial metropolis crashed on Tuesday after the provincial food department’s announcement of increasing the quota of wheat to the flour mills from 21,000 metric tons per day to 26,000 metric tons per day.

Sources in wheat trade said that the prices fell to Rs4200 per maund from Rs5400 per maund. The same situation was observed in other markets such as Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Sargodha, Dera Ghazi Khan, Bahawalpur and others as per the rates issued by the provincial agriculture department’s marketing wing today. Flour and fine traders are hoping that the fall in prices would bring down the prices of the commodity considerably soon.
