Pakistan picks costlier import options ignoring India’s huge sugar, wheat stocks

[American Pakistani]

Ok.... but are uyghurs not Oppressed enough for you ? Why do trade with China ?

Where is the ummah for uyghurs ?

Are uyghurs less muslim than kashmiris ?

Kashmir is Illegally occupied territory. Uyghur is not. What China does with its citizen is not Pakistan's problem.

What kind of aggression you have in mind? And how do you know that aggression wont hurt you worse?


And how do you know if India is sending anyone to J&K. The new law only gives certain rights to people already living in J&K for more than 15 years.

Hello. A tit for tat aggression. Musharraf used to handle India the right way. I want my country to adopt aggressive policy in which there is no concept of compromise. Only attack and more offensives. This is what we were.

This new law of India is carefully planned to trap Pakistan in it's own plebiscite demand resolution. At some stage, India will probably transport to other states or kill Pakistani supporters in Kashmir. Basically changing demography is in process. After some years, there will be Hindu majority Kashmir and India will ask UN for plebiscite. India will win through this strategy because Pakistani policy is entirely based on plebiscite and not over the claim that Indian Kashmir is Pakistani territory. This is grand plan. This is a powerful strategy. A strategy to fool Pakistan. India is playing games but very few in our country knows about it. Many Indians will say that India will never allow any plebiscite but in reality, they will and will win Kashmir through law and not by war. This strategy is easy and powerful.

Even in this demography change time period, a war for Pakistani Kashmir from Indian side is a probability but India knows that things will stall and probably ceasefire so basically anything is possible but this demography plan is a very clever strategy.

That is india's loss. They will have an attractive indo-Iranian race replaced by gangu-varsha dravidians who look...............

Changing demography is in process. we are facing very clever enemy who plans everything behind closed doors. We should revise our strategy and should make a new claim that we no longer want plebiscite. We should make it clear that after abrogation, Indian Kashmir has become integral part of Pakistan. They are making us fools. Within the next 10 to 15 years, expect dummy elections in Kashmir. Election without any interference from Indian army. They will assess results and finally ask UN for plebiscite, Hence meeting all the requirements of Pakistani claim but they will win easily. Assume Hindu people voting for India or Pakistan. Clever enemy!

Then why do you raise a hue and cry when France passes certain head covering rules on its citizens?

Why did Musharraf's troops ran back with tail between their legs in 1999?

There will be no plebiscite now. Time for plebiscite was in 1948/49 when UN passed its resolution and laid out conditions for it - the first being Pak having to pull out all its troops from the entirety of J&K.
As per Shimla agreement 1972, Kashmir is a bilateral matter between India - Pak with no legally binding role for UN or other nation intervention. You can continue to cry in front of China or UN, wont make a difference.

Even in this demography change time period, a war for Pakistani Kashmir from Indian side is a probability but India knows that things will stall and probably ceasefire so basically anything is possible but this demography plan is a very clever strategy.

You can keep your portion of Kashmir. We do not want to change borders now. We will be happy if LOC is converted to IB.

You can claim whatever you want. Like your Kashmir day, it matters little to India or outside world.

I am happy, no trade with the terrorist indians

Pakistan picks costlier import options ignoring India’s huge sugar, wheat stocks

In April, Islamabad had asked New Delhi to restore Article 370 to allow Indian imports
Even as India is exporting its surplus stocks of sugar and wheat to countries in the Indian Ocean region, Pakistan, its neighbour, is spending huge sums to import them from other countries.
A fortnight ago, the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Pakistan Cabinet approved the import of 1.1 lakh tonnes (lt) of wheat at $355.9 (₹26,000) a tonne and two lakh tonnes of white sugar at $657 (₹48,000) a tonne. The Imran Khan government will spend $270 million (₹1,970 crore) to import these commodities to meet domestic shortfall and build strategic reserves.


Earlier this year, Pakistan decided to import six lakh tonnes of sugar, of which one lakh tonne have already arrived. The neighbouring country also decided to import five lakh tonnes of wheat with one lakh tonne already finalised through a tender at $304 (₹22,200) a tonne.
Loans to manage imports
The Trading Corporation of Pakistan, which is canalising the imports, has been asked by the ECC to avail of commercial loans to manage the imports. Pakistan is importing wheat despite estimates of a record 27.3 million tonnes production this year.

Pakistan got the first consignment of one lakh tonne of sugar at $515.97 (₹37,650) a tonne. Sugar prices in the global market are ruling near four-and-a-half year high on fears of lower production in Brazil. Raw sugar prices have topped $20 cents a pound (₹32,400 a tonne) on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). White sugar in London is quoted at $505.90 (₹36,925) a tonne for December delivery.
Kashmir issue
However, these imports will have to be ratified by the Federal Cabinet. Pakistan is buying both commodities at prices far higher than what India offers to other countries. The dispute over Kashmir is being cited as a reason by Islamabad to not import any commodity from India.
“Kashmir or any other issue is mere posturing. All these deals are underhand ones,” said a trader source not wishing to be identified. The ECC of the Pakistan Cabinet is probing into these deals, particularly when tenders finalised earlier this year were not honoured.
While Pakistan is having to pay a high price for importing wheat and sugar, India has been exporting both these commodities at a very competitive price.
Delivery across the border
“Pakistan could have got sugar from India at $525-30 (₹38,300-38,675) a tonne. We could have delivered them in trucks through our land borders,” said Rahil Shaikh, Managing Director, MEIR Commodities India. “Pakistan could be getting its sugar from one of the refineries in Dubai,” he said.
At the same time, Indian sugar exporters have sold over 10 lt of sugar through forward contracts for the next season starting October. “Most of the contracted deals are for shipping raw sugar. These will be heading for the usual destinations such as Indonesia,” Shaikh said.
All-India Sugar Traders Association Chairman said most of the export deals have been struck at $471.50 (₹34,400) a tonne free-on-rails from Kandla in Gujarat.
Wheat prices
In the global wheat market too, India is currently offering at $290 (₹21,175) a tonne free-on-board. It had begun exporting at $260 (₹19,000) a tonne before it raised the rates following a jump in global market prices. Currently, wheat on the Chicago Board of Trade for December delivery is quoted at $6.96 a bushel (₹18,675 a tonne).
According to trade sources, Pakistan is the only country that is not tapping into India’s “mountain of stocks” of these commodities. Bangladesh has turned out to be a major beneficiary of the huge stocks of wheat and rice in India. Similarly, Nepal and Sri Lanka are also importing a good volume of these from India.
According to Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) data, Bangladesh has imported 3.95 lt of wheat valued at ₹767.07 crore during April-June this fiscal. Last fiscal, it bought 11.57 lt worth ₹2,191 crore.
Nepal imported 91,465 tonnes of wheat and Sri Lanka 76,280 tonnes during the first quarter at a total value of ₹322.48 crore. Last fiscal, the Himalayan kingdom imported 3.28 lt and Lanka 94,041 tonnes, totalling ₹798.07 crore.
Supporting Shaikh’s views on delivery of sugar, an exporter said at least 150 trucks plied from India to Bangladesh daily to deliver maize (corn) consignments. Before India-Pakistan relations hit a dead-end, most of the trading was done through trucks across the border.
Nod rejected in April
The case was similar with cotton and cotton yarn earlier this year. In April, the Pakistan Cabinet turned down its ECC approval to import sugar, cotton and cotton yarn “until Article 370 is restored” by India.
Then, the ECC approved import of 5 lt of sugar by June 30 and cotton and cotton yarn from June. Though trade relations between India and Pakistan have been affected due to the Pulawama blast in February 2019 that killed 39 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel, New Delhi had said it would have no objection to the trade supplying sugar and cotton to Pakistan.
Pakistan had permitted import of Indian medicines in May last year to tackle the Covid pandemic. But it does not want to import these essential commodities, whose prices have skyrocketed in its domestic market.

India currently has ample stocks of wheat, sugar and cotton with it. As on August 1, FCI carried 56.48 mt of wheat stocks compared with 51.32 mt a year ago. FCI stocks are higher after the Centre procured a record 43.32 mt of wheat from farmers this year against 38.99 mt last year. Besides, India produced a record 122.27 mt of wheat this year. As regards to sugar, India will have 8.7 mt of ending stocks, while cotton ending stocks are projected to be over 90 lakh bales (of 170 kg).




Imran is going to bankrupt Pakistan.

Uyghurs are terrorists. China is helping the world by exterminating them.



No more trade deals with India. Indians should realize that their game is up. Pakistan is being lead by PMIK not their crony NS.


cry baby cry. Pakistan will not do any business with India.

Uighurs are not terrorists, they are our compatriots.
There are 700k Uighur CCP-member and 200k Uighur soldiers in XinJiang. In fact, most of the soldiers guarding Xinjiang are Uighur soldiers.
If you look up the names of Chinese soldiers who died in Xinjiang from 2014 to 2018 Mission Against Terror, you will find that most of them are Uighur names, because Uighur soldiers are the main anti-terrorism force in Xinjiang.
A simple logic is that without the support of the Uighur people, China could not completely eliminate terrorists in just four years.
Uighurs want a stable and prosperous life. They hate terrorists funded by the CIA. Many of these terrorists are not Uighurs, but foreigners.

 

[MH.Yang]

Many people don't know this:
The troops of Islamic minorities took part in the war of resistance against Japan and the civil war between the CCP and the KMT. They are the forces that firmly support the CCP. The CCP have great trust in this army.

The policy is good for the long term, it will create incentive for Pakistani farmer to expand their farming business and make Pakistan self sufficient

 

[lightoftruth]

Uyghers, Rohingya, Afghani, nobody comes anywhere near what we think or should think about Kashmiri .
It's not just about religion, it's also about Pakistani claim on Kashmir, and Kashmiri peoples struggle to join Pakistan since 1947.

Really so on what basis pakistan was made ?

What kashmiri struggle ? when was the last time they joined you in war against India ? 1965 ? 1971 ? 1999 ?

Kashmir is Illegally occupied territory. Uyghur is not. What China does with its citizen is not Pakistan's problem.

Yes area occupied by you is disputed.

But a lot of pakistanis cry a river over rohingyas & palestinians etc

Why has Pakistan not accepted Israel ?

What claim pakistan has in palestine ?

 

[El Sidd]

Really so on what basis pakistan was made ?

Through a vote of a Muslim renaissance political movement post colonial withdrawal to enjoy values of life as ascertained by democratic principles of Islam.

What kashmiri struggle ? when was the last time they joined you in war against India ? 1965 ? 1971 ? 1999 ?

when have they stopped fighting? why are there a million troops there if there is no struggle.

Why has Pakistan not accepted Israel ?

Freedom and Liberty.

2 of your worst enemy in the thread.

.

Because France is hypocrite. They talk about religious freedom and pile their dirty extremist nose in other countries but do the same extremism inside their territory. China does not.

Now thats just giving excuses. My question why do you care about French muslims and not Chinese muslims.
In fact, you care about muslims everywhere except
1. Chinese muslims &
2. And those getting beaten down by other muslims eg. Yemen

Muslims in the EU are patriotic Muslims while Uyghurs are terrorists.

Big difference.

You portrayed urself by showing such a propaganda video.

That video was devoid of any politics but purely went to show development of sports in J&K. How do you claim it to be propaganda?
Do you hate progress being made in J&K?
