Introduction


10/57

Now-a-days, we have to identify and evaluate the flour crises by using systematicapproach in Bahawalpur.

As we know that, flour is the basic nesseccity of every person and flour crises havea significient impact on everybody.

So, basic thing is that to select that flour mills whose purpose is to provide flour tothe consumers in a good way.Flour mills that having most values in the societies.If these flour mills are provided the flour in a good and successful way to theconsumers in the market , then consumers can meet there demands of flour andthey can spent life easily.

But in current situations , there are many flour mills whose purpose is to earnmoney by providing lower quality of flour. They are not focusing to build theirmills for to make better economy. If we talk about the Government mills, eventoday in these mills flour is produce of a low qulity. Some flour mills are notworking properly due to this these are closed. The managers in that kind of flourmills are working only for to get pay at the end of the month. On the other handthere is less awareness and policies to our government while making selection ofmanagers for the mills.

Some private flour mills having some financial problems and are unable to pay themonthly rents and other expenditures. That is all due to dynamic environmentaland also the recession of our economy. Due to less technology and populationfactor is also influence on the demand of flour.

If government successfully run the flour mills and make policies better then theflour shortage can be eliminated.

51/57

ConclusionSo we conclude that:

The policies of government about the flour and wheat are not sufficient.

Government not gives the subsidy to the producers.

Load shedding is the big problem for the mills.

Wheat quantity is not sufficient.

The flour crises are occurred by the smuggling of wheat to Afghanistan.

Prices of flour per bag are too much high.

Producers also hoarding the wheat.


52/57


53/57

Supplier or mill owners are also responsible of this shortage. They wanted to earn

profit at any source and way. When there are crises in our country and shortage of

flour occur they store the wheat and wait for high prices so that they can earn high

profit. People in our country are dishonest. As a Muslim it is our duty to work

honestly and help to each other. They take step to eliminate the flour crises:

Must be loyal and honest

Establish new plant to increase the productivity of flour

Control on monopoly system


Increase in population is also a reason of the shortage of flour. As population

increase the demand for flour also increase aggressively because Pakistans

population mostly on flour as a basic food. Pakistan as a developing country and

has low resources to produce higher out put. It is so difficult to provide each

facility to each member of country as population increase aggressively. We must

give awareness to the people that they control on their population.

Finally, the reason may be but we must be honest and work hard and with sincere.


54/57


Limitations This research is conducted only for academic purpose.

Data used for analysis is collected from Bahawalpur City of Pakistan. So,

findings are more accurately applicable only for the area of Bahawalpur that

is Model Town A, Model Town B, Model Town C, Hashmi Town, and

This study is conducted with limited time and resources so variation can be

occur in concluded data.
