Sugar prices have fallen across Pakistan following a government crackdown on hoarding and profiteering, bringing relief to consumers after weeks of inflated rates. Authorities intensified inspections at mills, warehouses and retail markets, warning traders against artificial shortages and price manipulation.
Officials said coordinated actions by provincial administrations and market committees helped stabilise supply chains, leading to a visible drop in retail prices in major cities. The government has vowed to continue strict monitoring to ensure prices remain stable and that consumers benefit from fair market practices.
