If we compare the industry with the year 2018 it has decreased by 35% SPLY (Jan-Dec). There are some factors in creating this situation mentioned below.
- Pakistani Rupee devaluation resulting in an increase in prices.
- The buying power of customers has decreased.
- Farmers could not earn well from their crops
- The arrival of new government which has failed to provide a good environment for the business.
- Profit uncertainty for investors.
