Islamabad, In a decisive move to stabilize sugar availability in Pakistan, Minister for Industries and Production Rana Tanveer Hussain has directed relevant authorities to guarantee the supply of sugar meets local demand before allowing any exports of the commodity. This directive was issued during a meeting of the Sugar Advisory Board, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing domestic needs over international sales to prevent price escalations.
