Pakistan: High energy cost forces millers to halve flour production
RAWALPINDI: The twin city millers have halved flour production due to rising cost to grind wheat.

All Pakistan Flourmills Association, Rawalpindi region, Chairman Abdur Rehman told Daily Times on Wednesday that flourmills of Islamabad and Rawalpindi used to produce 80,000 flour bags a day but the production had been cut by a half due to rising electricity and fuel prices.

1. No problemo ...
There will soon only be half as many people to eat the wheat.

Demand will come down.

Supply will increase.

Prices will drop -- a lot.

It's win-win for the marketplace!

:scared:
