The Caretaker Federal Government has made a decision to put a ban on importing wheat into the country. This decision was made by a group called the Economic Coordination Committee, or ECC for short. The reason behind this ban is that the prices of flour in Pakistan are staying steady, and the country already has enough wheat stored up to meet the needs of its people. The ECC actually praised the Ministry of National Food Security for taking some great measures to ensure that there's an ample supply of wheat within the country. It's really important to them that the local wheat market remains stable and that there's enough food for everyone in Pakistan. So, this ban on importing wheat is part of their efforts to maintain food security and make sure that the people of Pakistan have enough to eat.
