prices of all pulses have increased in the wholesale market as a result of crop damage caused by flash floods brought on by the nation’s severe rainfall.
Details indicate that due to crop damage from flash floods in Sindh, Punjab, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, pulse prices have risen 10 to 15 percent in the wholesale market.
