Larkana deputy commissioner sets official wheat flour prices at Rs. 115–125 per kilogram
AI Market Summary
Sindh province's Larkana district imposed immediate official caps on wheat flour and fine flour ex-mill and retail prices under the 2005 anti-profiteering/hoarding law. The measure tightens downstream pricing for mills, chakkis, wholesalers, and retailers, potentially shifting near-term margins and inventory behavior in local physical wheat and flour supply chains. Market-wide impact is limited given the policy's district-level scope and focus on processed flour pricing.
