Pakistan, Indian flour millers join hands
LAHORE,March 26: Pakistan Flour Mills Association
(PFMA) and Rollers Flour Millers Federation of
India (RFMFI) have announced the setting up of an
Indo-Pak Roller Flour Mills Federation (IPRFMF)
here on Thursday in order to solve their combined
problems and exchange and share technology.
Gopal Bhushan Gupta, president RFMFI, who is
leading a five-member delegation from India, said
both countries could exchange technical expertise
and experiences.
Mr Gupta said the new body would comprise five
executive committee members from each side. Bilal
Ahmed Soofi, the honorary advisor of PFMA, was
selected as president of the IPRFMF for a two-year
term after which president and the secretary would
be appointed from India for the next couple of
years.
Mr Gupta said the delegation came to Pakistan with
an aim of friendship and established a joint
platform to solve combined problems of the millers
of both countries.
He said Indian wheat is ‘Karnal Bunt’ free and
India has surplus wheat of 8.4 million tonnes but
the Indian government imposed a ban on wheat
export last year. He said that Pakistan should
purchase wheat from India, which is cheaper than
Australian wheat.
The new office bearers of IPRFMF said they would
try to establish a flour milling school to
modernize the industry.
