ISLAMABAD: A top-level meeting chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday decided that the provincial governments would ensure 80:20 grinding ratio at the flour mills in order to enhance flour production and lower the prices of flour.
Imran directed that laws be suitably amended to put in place a compliance regime rather than approvals; the powers of regulation be devolved to divisional and district level and all activities at market be video-recorded to ensure transparency during the wheat auctioning.
The government decided to reduce administrative expenditure on procurement, delivery and storage of wheat.
Moreover, the prime minister also tasked the finance minister with reviewing the existing business model of procurement of wheat at government level and suggesting, within a week, ways and means to cut down administrative costs being incurred during procurement, transmission and storage process of wheat.
