Islamabad: According to government sources, the federal government has decided to import raw sugar to stabilize prices and provide relief to consumers.

Officials say that the import of raw sugar will help reduce local sugar prices.

This step will also support future increases in domestic sugar production.

The imported raw sugar will be refined locally and converted into processed sugar.

Government sources emphasized that the purpose of this decision is to regulate sugar prices in the local market and ensure its availability to consumers at affordable rates.
