What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Pakistan Sugar Mills Association held meetings in Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore on November 11, 2026. The association called on the government to deregulate the sugar industry and allow the immediate export of surplus sugar. The PSMA stated that 1.1 million tonnes of surplus sugar remain in the country, despite permission only being granted for 200,000 tonnes. Mill owners reported that the current situation makes it impossible for them to continue operating their mills.
