  • Food Adviser Ali Imam Majumder has said that import costs are relatively lower due to the proximity of neighboring countries such as India, Myanmar, and Pakistan. "Therefore, we welcome neighboring countries interested in exporting rice to us.

The article from TBS News discusses Bangladesh's approach to rice imports amidst global political tensions, particularly with India. Food Adviser to the Prime Minister, Waheed-uz-Zaman, emphasized that Bangladesh is keeping trade and politics separate, focusing on ensuring food security. He mentioned that despite the political situation, Bangladesh has been importing rice from India, with 100,000 tonnes already imported and plans for an additional 100,000 tonnes. This strategy aims to stabilize local rice prices and maintain supply, especially given the global market's volatility due to factors like the Russia-Ukraine war. The adviser also noted that while India has imposed restrictions on rice exports, these are not seen as politically motivated but rather as measures to manage domestic supply and prices. Furthermore, Bangladesh is exploring other sources like Vietnam and Thailand for rice imports to diversify its supply chain.
