The Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) had unearthed a cartel in the sugar industry through an extensive inquiry, which concluded that the Pakistan Sugar Mills Association (PSMA) has been acting as a front runner for cartelization in the sugar industry since 2010.
The report concluded while determining the causes behind the sugar shortage/crisis and price hike that the sugar mills are using the PSMA platform to take a collective decision to use exports as a means of sustaining or controlling prices or ‘keeping it stable’.
The enquiry report said that evidence gathered during raids on the premises of PSMA and JDW Sugar Mills seems to suggest these anti-competitive activities have continued since 2010.
