Another wheat consignment arrives at KPT

KARACHI:

Another major consignment of wheat, weighing 59,132.19 metric tonnes, has arrived at Karachi Port aboard the vessel MV Great Rainbow.

The vessel is berthed at Karachi Gateway Terminal Multipurpose Limited (KGTML) at East Wharf, where the unloading of wheat is under way.

The consignment has arrived to ensure the availability of wheat for domestic consumption and help maintain an uninterrupted supply of the essential food commodity across the country.

Pakistan is an agricultural economy and yet it has often to rely on imported wheat to cater to the growing demand.
