Bangaldesh to Import 100,000 MT of Rice

In order to meet its post-monsoon possible emergency, Bangladesh has issued a tender to import 100,000 MT of non-basmati parboiled rice by November this year.

Over the last couple of weeks, the state-managed food directorate floated separate tenders to import 200,000 MT and 150,000 MT of rice respectively.
 
 
The monsoon prevails in Bangladesh between June to September, triggering floods that damage crops every year.
