Pakistan's government has acknowledged that some previously imported wheat is of poor quality, and that acknowledgement has raised concerns over its suitability. The imported wheat in this update is wheat that was brought in earlier, and poor quality means the government has accepted that some of it falls short.

The admission covers some of that wheat. Previously imported means the wheat arrived before this update. Suitability means whether the wheat is fit for the use people expect of it. The update raises that concern and does not say which use it has in mind. It also does not give a tonnage, a seller, or a shipment date.
