What happened
The Middle East crisis has negatively affected Pakistan's agricultural exports, particularly mangoes and vegetables. Mango traders expect export sales to fall by at least 30 percent due to dampened demand in key markets, including the Gulf, and soaring shipping costs. Meanwhile, tomato prices in Karachi have surged sharply to Rs300 per kilogram due to a seasonal supply shortage.
Why it matters
The regional crisis is impacting Pakistan's agriculturally dependent economy by reducing lucrative export market demand and increasing operational costs. Local inflation stemming from the crisis is also depressing domestic sales of fruit and vegetables.
Pakistan's Prime Minister recently announced successful mediation efforts that led to peace and a fuel price reduction in the Middle East.
