Ghee prices jump up by Rs6-7/kg LAHORE
C
iMRAn ADnAn
OOkING oil and ghee prices have witnessed a steep increase of Rs6-7 per kg during the last four days, as edible oil industry in the country has shut down its operations in protest against organised extortion of transporters. Ghee dealers believe if this situation persists for few more days, the market would get dry resultantly and prices would further jump up. Speaking to Profit, a ghee dealer at Akbari Market, Mubashir Afzal, said profiteers had started manipulating cooking oil and ghee market. he disclosed during the last four days, ghee prices had witnessed a jump of Rs7 per kg after which A-category 16kilogram ghee tin was hovering between Rs2,760
to Rs2,770, while Bcategory ghee was being sold at Rs2,520 per 16 kg tin in wholesale. he revealed investors, hoarders and profiteers, all were on money making spree in Akbari Market. “They buy stock in the evening and sell them on inflated prices in the morning as new supply is stopped due to ghee industry strike. however, dealers still have some stocks available, which would hardly last for a couple of days,” he maintained. Another dealer said panic buying was also being witnessed in the markets. he said if the supply was not restored immediately, ghee prices could swell further. On the other hand, Pakistan Vanapati Manufacturer
Manufacturers Association (PVMA) Chairman Abdul Waheed said the entire ghee and cooking oil industry had shut down its operation across Pakistan against blackmailing of transporters, but nobody was paying heed to the issue. he said domestic ghee industry was in the grip transport and tanker mafia, which had paralysed the transportation of imported edible oil from Port Qasim, karachi to upcountry destinations. Ghee industry had been victimised by constant unilateral increase in transportation rates, black mailing and pilferage of cargo since long, he underscored. The burning of four NLC tankers
The entire ghee and cooking oil industry had shut down its operation across Pakistan against blackmailing of transporters, but nobody was paying heed to the issue
loaded with edible oil worth Rs30 million by tanker mafia on February 17, created a wave of fear and uncertainty among ghee manufacturers. The tanker mafia had further flouted the judgment of honourable Sind high Court, karachi dated February 15, 2012, he maintained. he pointed out public exchequer had to incur a loss of Rs1.5 billion due to industry closure during the last five days. In addition, some 50,000 daily wagers had been jobless throughout the country. Ghee manufacturers would continue their agitation till industry reservations were not addressed, he exclaimed. Responding to a query, he estimated some 230,000 tonnes of oil had been stuck at ports, whereas, some 50,000 tonnes of shortage had been created in the market due to the industry shut down. he appealed the chief justice of Pakistan to take suo motu notice of this issue and provide relief to the domestic industry.

STAFF REPORT
high powered business delegation from Pakistan is going to visit Malaysia on February 26 to seek further opportunities of trade. The two countries which are signatories of a Free Trade Agreement are moving forward to enhance bilateral trade from $2 to $4 billion, through exploring new ways of trade. The important delegation, sources said, would focus on some selected sectors including rice, surgical and pharmaceutical goods, textile, halal food, etc. The delegation led by Chief executive of Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) will hold separate meetings with the heads of various associations, including Malaysian Textile Manufacturers Association, halal Industry Development Corporation, Malaysian Organisation of Pharmaceutical Industries, Association of Private hospitals of Malaysia and Jasmine Food Corporation of the foreign country. Pakistan-Malaysia Business Forum was also scheduled to be held on February 28, which on the Pakistani end would be addressed by Tariq Iqbal Puri, Ce of TDAP, Bashir Janmohammad Chairman Pakistan Malaysia Business Council of FPCCI, khawar Anwar khwaja, Chief executive Grays of Cambridge Limited and hassan A Bilgirami Ce and Director Islamic Bank and others. Besides, the meetings and interactions
were also scheduled to be held with various ministries and government officials in Malaysia, sources added. The business interaction was also aimed to double the existing trade figures in the next few years and seek further deals in agricultural products, technological sharing and search of new markets in each country. Bilateral trade has increased by 34 per cent in 2010, totaling $2.5 billion, compared to a trade volume of $1.86 billion in the fiscal year 2009. The jump in bilateral trade was observed after the FTA was signed by the two countries in 2007. It is worth mentioning here that a major player in trade between the two countries was the import of palm oil from Malaysia and the bilateral trade was in favour of the foreign country. Pakistan imports palm oil worth $1 billion annually and due to a 15 per cent concession duty given to Malaysian palm oil, its share in total palm oil imports has risen to 70 per cent from 55 per cent.

A
DDING to the financial woes of Pakistan State Oil (PSO) which also owes billions or rupees to refiners and other fuel suppliers, the receivables of the state owned oil marketing company has ballooned to Rs195 billion as on Tuesday. however, the company’s official sources claimed that despite financial constraints, PSO, the leading energy company of the nation, continues to fulfill the energy needs of the country in a responsible manner.

The supplies to cash customers/IPPs may vary as per the orders placed and payments received. keeping in view the national interest, PSO has continued this fuel supply even while the company labours under a debt of Rs195 billion, out of which Rs170 billion is owed by the power sector alone. In addition to the normal supplies to power sector, the company maintains adequate fuel oil reserves which are sufficient to meet the energy needs of the country for a period of 25 days. PSO has also prudently chalked out oil import plans for the upcoming months in order to ensure that no product shortage occurs at any point in time. PSO, as a responsible corporate citizen is cognisant of its responsibilities and continues to meet the energy demands of the nation in a timely manner.

AhORe Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) Tuesday took a strong exception to the government for 10 to 12 hours unscheduled power cuts and its failure to honour its commitment regarding two days weekly provision of gas to the industry because of which the industrial productions and trading activities have nose-divided to their lowest levels. In a statement issued here, LCCI President Irfan Qaiser Sheikh, Senior Vice President kashif Younis Meher and Vice President Saeeda Nazar said the government should come up with a clear cut energy policy, as haphazard hours long power outages and two day provision of gas after every ten days instead of weekly two days gas supply were causing undue and unprecedented loss to both the trade and industry. They said the economy was fast heading towards the point on no return. LCCI office-bearers said
they were unable to understand why the concerned departments were reluctant to take all the stakeholders into confidence on the energy situation. “When the government is unable to bridge the gap between the demand and supply, it should at least take all the stakeholders into confidence and announce a proper schedule for both the trade and industry so that they could readjust their working hours according to that schedule.” LCCI office-bearers said the power outages for the industry or the industrial areas should be scheduled with at least a three hour gap as in most of the industrial units or in case of heavy machinery, a machine usually takes 40-45 minutes for full functioning after the start up and if the power breaks would be on hourly based, no industry would be able to survive. They said LCCI had received a number of complaints wherein repeated unscheduled power cuts caused huge machinery loss and the whole unit had gone bankrupt. LCCI office-bearers said it is not the production loss alone,
but the loss of export orders as well, since a large number of importers from US and eU countries were now placing their orders to the other regional countries. On-time delivery of an export order is a prerequisite to win any new order, but unfortunately Pakistan’s exportoriented industry in general and the industry in Punjab in particular are unable to ensure on-time delivery to their foreign buyers because of acute power shortage, they added. LCCI office-bearers said same was the case with commercial activity, as only because of the low production, a number of businessmen were planning to shift their businesses to other countries; therefore, it would be wise on part of the government to take both the trade and industry into confidence over energy situation. They also urged Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani to ensure implementation of a proper power outage plan for the sake of industry otherwise, it would be impossible for the government to have an economic turnaround.

AkISTAN should take advantage of Swedish energy saving technologies that could easily reduce energy consumption by 40 per cent. Thermal and green technologies are also fast developing, which are not only energy efficient, but also reduce carbon emissions for healthier environment. These observations were made by the Swedish steel magnate, Per Malmer, who visited Lahore on a three-day business visit. Speaking to a selected group of journalist here on Tuesday, he said there were so many sectors in Pakistan where energy could be saved through innovation and adoption of modern technologies. he indicated his company was supplying steel related products and technologies to various steel manufacturing units in Pakistan that helped them to reduce energy consumption and make these units more competitive.

Malmer said though every country had some trade barriers to protect the local industry, but these barriers encourage inefficiencies. “In the free market economy only quality products and competitive prices will sustain, no other measure, including quotas, could help countries to protect their markets,” he stressed. Answering a question, Swedish industrialist said his perception about Pakistan had changed entirely in just a couple of days, as he met friendly people here. Though, Pakistan and Sweden had entirely different cultures, he said, but he still saw similarities. Malmer pointed out he had been inspired from the strong family bonds present in the Pakistani society that could not be compared with Sweden or any other western country. however, youth of both countries had a similar lifestyle and thinking, he observed.
