KARACHI (The Thursday Times) — Imported gandum Karachi pahunch gayi hai aur open market mein gandum sasti ho gayi hai, lekin agar aap tandoor se roti ya kone ki dukan se aata kharidte hain, toh aap ne abhi tak is mein se kuch bhi nahin dekha.
Pehla jahaz, jo 51,000 tonnes le kar aaya, 28 October ko berth par laga, aur open market mein gandum Rs140 se Rs130 fi kilo par aa gayi. Doosra jahaz, jis mein 58,132 tonnes thay, Mangal ko pahunchne wala tha. Flour mills ne bhi apni qeematein Rs5 fi kilo kam kar deen. Dukan ki qeemat nahin hili.
Karachi mein aap kya ada kar rahe hain
- Chapati: Rs20
- Naan: Rs30 se Rs35
- Sheermal ya taftaan: Rs100 se Rs110
- Qulcha: Rs90 se Rs100
- Aata No 2.5: dukan par Rs170 se Rs180 fi kilo, jab ke mill par Rs156
- Maida: dukan par Rs185 se Rs190 fi kilo, jab ke mill par Rs168
- Bareek aata: dukan par Rs185 se Rs190 fi kilo, jab ke mill par Rs171
Roti sasti kyun nahin hui
Tandoor ke liye aata bill ka sirf aik hissa hai. Aik tandoor malik ne kaha ke liquefied petroleum gas ki qeemat, jo Rs500 se Rs550 fi kilo hai, ne aate mein hone wali chhoti si kami ko khatm kar diya. "Agar LPG ki qeematein mazeed barh gayin toh hamare liye apna karobar jari rakhna mushkil hoga," unhon ne kaha.
Wholesaler Rauf Ibrahim ne regulators par barhe hue retail rates ko rokne mein nakam rehne ka ilzam lagaya. Unhon ne yeh bhi kaha ke 7 lakh 50 hazar tonnes ki manubanda import kafi nahin hogi, kyunke Sindh aur Punjab se March se May ke darmiyan nayi fasal aane tak mulk ko 20 lakh tonnes se zyada ki zaroorat hai. Woh chahte hain ke private companies aur millers ko bhi anaj import karne ki ijazat di jaye.
Ibrahim ne kaha ke maheene mein Rs50,000 se kam kamane wale mazdoor ab jo kuch kamate hain taqreeban sab khane par kharch kar dete hain, jis se bachchon ki taleem ke liye bohat kam bachta hai.
Aata sab se mehnga kahan hai
Karachi aur Hyderabad mein qeematein sab se zyada hain, 29 October ko khatm hone wale hafte ke Sensitive Price Index ke mutabiq. Karachi mein 20kg ka aik thaila Rs3,540 tak aur Hyderabad mein Rs3,360 se Rs3,400 tak mein mil raha hai, jab ke baqi jagahon par ausat qeemat Rs3,200 hai. Aik miller ne kaha ke Karachi mein qeemat is liye zyada hai ke wahan apni gandum paida nahin hoti aur woh Sindh ke baqi hisson se aane wale anaaj par inhisar karta hai.
Agar aap gandum khareed kar piswate hain, toh tasweer mukhtalif hai. 10kg ka aik thaila Sukkur mein sab se mehnga hai, jahan us ki qeemat Rs1,488 hai, us ke baad Peshawar mein Rs1,469 hai, aur sab se sasta Sargodha mein Rs1,223 aur Bahawalpur mein Rs1,266 hai.
