Impact of Border Closure
The closure of the Afghan border has led to a surge in fruit and vegetable prices in Pakistan, particularly in Punjab, due to widespread shortages and market manipulation.
- Afghan grapes and pomegranates are in short supply
- Apples and tomatoes imported from Iran are also affected
- Prices have skyrocketed in retail markets
Vendors are experiencing dwindling stocks, while consumers struggle to afford basic household staples.
The situation has been further compounded by the district administration’s decision to abolish the grade-wise price system.
This decision has removed the differentiation between A, B, and C-grade produce, exacerbating the issue.
