Even being an agriculture country Pakistan has to spend millions of dollars on import of food items that can be grown indigenously through proper policies. Edible oil, a key component of our daily use items, is a glaring example as the country is hardly managing to produce only 32 percent of edible oil to meet domestic consumption and the remaining 68 percent is imported from different countries.
