Peshawar consumers hit by fresh flour price hike amid rising wheat rates

Flour prices have increased once again, with a 20kg bag becoming Rs100 to Rs150 more expensive within two days, according to the Flour Dealers Association.

The association said the price of a 20kg bag of mixed flour has increased from Rs2,650 to Rs2,800, while the price of fine flour has risen from Rs2,900 to Rs3,000.

Flour dealers attributed the continuous increase in prices to rising wheat rates, saying the cost of flour is expected to remain under pressure due to expensive wheat supplies.
