According to Waheen Ahmed, a member of the Pakistan Fruit and Vegetable Exporters Importers and Merchants Association (PFVA), the delay in issuing letters of credit is affecting the cost of containers, terminal and shipping charges will increase. Onion containers are already expensive and due to this a common man is going to be badly affected. Onion will be out of the reach of the common man.
