<p>Why is Pakistan growing a crop that causes diabetes, consumes 17% of our water, and brings in zero dollars? In this episode of Dil Ki Baat, I expose the dark reality of Pakistan&#39;s Sugar Mafia, the elite political families controlling the agriculture sector, and why the salaried class is forced to foot the bill while billionaires pay almost zero tax.Article 1: https://weeklycuttingedge.com/cotton-to-cane-how-sugar-barons-hijacked-pakistans-agricultural-future/Article 2: https://tribune.com.pk/story/2610094/sindh-opposes-immediate-sugar-deregulationThis episode is sponsored by Taptap Send.Download Taptap Send using the following link: https://taptapsend.onelink.me/LrabUse code &#39;MUZAMILPK&#39; for a first time bonusJoin the Inner Circle, my weekly letter on AI, building, and being early to what&#39;s coming:https://muzamilhasan.com/inner-circleRead the thesis, the one idea behind everything I&#39;m building:https://muzamilhasan.com/thesisMy website:https://muzamilhasan.comFollowing up on our AI Data Center series, we take a hard look at the real reason Pakistan is facing a water and economic crisis. On the TBT Podcast, we don&#39;t just complain about inflation; we break down the macro-economics behind it. Today, we uncover how 94% of Pakistan&#39;s water is swallowed by outdated farming, why the government bans imported sugar (Rs. 60/kg) to sell you local sugar at Rs. 150/kg, and how the shift from cotton to sugarcane is destroying our export economy. If you want to understand how elite capture, colonial-era regulations, and political mafias are keeping Pakistan poor, you need to watch this until the end. Deregulation is the only way out.</p>
