'Pakistan can consider importing vegetables from India'

Pakistan's finance minister Miftah Ismail said the government can consider importing vegetables and other edible items from India following the destruction of standing crops due to massive floods, three years after Islamabad downgraded trade ties with New Delhi over Kashmir. Pakistan is witnessing a massive surge in prices of vegetables and fruits due to devastating floods as the supply of vegetables from Balochistan, Sindh and south Punjab has badly been affected because of the disaster.
