Ministry of National Food Security and Research (NFS&R) will help wheat importers at all levels. This was said by Secretary NFS&R, Omar Hamid while chairing a meeting on wheat import on Wednesday. Secretary NFS&R assured the wheat importers of positive steps in response to their requests for facilitation and taking decisions at the earliest to allow required consignments to come on time. He was of the point of view that legitimate concerns of importers will be solved at the earliest. He said that government is subsidizing wheat import so that ultimately public can get wheat at affordable price. In view of the current supply issues during the harvesting season, the federal government has announced import of wheat to ensure uninterrupted supply. The importers requested for facilitation in berthing, storage and clearances on the landing of shipment. The meeting was attended by wheat importers, representatives from NFS&R, FBR and Finance Division.
