The interim government of Bangladesh will procure 50,000 tonnes of rice from India to address the depletion of the country's food stocks and thereby meet consumer demand for the cereal grain amid ongoing inflationary pressure.


The rice will be used to supply state-sponsored food distribution programmes, which are running in full swing to meet consumer demand amid the persistent high inflation.

For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel.​

The associated proposal for this purchase was approved by a meeting of the Advisory Committee on Economic Affairs chaired by Finance Adviser Salehuddin Ahmed yesterday.

As such, the food ministry will now import the rice through M/S Bagadiya Brothers Private Ltd in India at a cost of $456.67 per tonne.


As per data of the food ministry, Bangladesh had a stock of 11.48 lakh tonnes of food grains as of December 17. Of this amount, about 7.42 lakh tonnes were rice.

The government had imported 26.25 lakh tonnes of food grains, of which 54,170 tonnes were rice, as of December 17 in the current fiscal year.

Govt decides to lift duties on rice imports​

The government plans to distribute 20.52 lakh tonnes of food grains through various channels in the current fiscal of 2024-25.


Of the total, 8 lakh tonnes of rice will be collected from the local market during the ongoing Aman season. A higher amount will then be sourced locally during the Boro season in early 2025.

Up until December 5, the food ministry had supplied about 11.17 lakh tonnes of rice for various food distribution programmes.

The government has also approved separate proposals for purchasing two cargoes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and 90,000 tonnes of fertiliser (urea) in order to meet the country's growing demand.

The Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources has settled on procuring the LNG from M/S TotalEnergies Gas and Power Ltd in Switzerland on floating an international quotation.

One cargo will cost $14.25 per MMBtu and the other $13.87 per MMBtu.

Meanwhile, the industries ministry will buy 90,000 tonnes of urea fertiliser through separate proposals, including to Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

The Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) will procure 10,000 tonnes of lentils from Sheikh Agro Food Industries in Dhaka, with each kilogramme costing Tk 95.40.

In addition, the TCB will procure 1.10 crore litres of soybean oil from City Edible Oil Limited in Dhaka for about Tk 172.25 per litre.

India has many taker of rice. However, this is not in line with Boycott India campaign. You should learn from Pakistan who for the sake of its ego is not buying few things from India. It is a different matter that they ultimately end up buying Indian goods via UAE or other country. Why don't you do that?

When you talk too much with loudmouth, you endup getting humiliated like BD. Slowly, they will back to normalcy and end up buying everything which they used to buy from India but this time at higher rate.

Then why don't you stop selling rice to Bangladesh? Bangladesh has other reliable sources like China, Thailand, Vietnam, Pakistan, and Myanmar who are eager to sell their agricultural products to us. We buy rice from you because you are a neighbor. If you don't sell we will buy rice from someone else.

According to you, smelly ugly Bengali runts like Satyajit Ray (Film Maker) and Amartya Sen (Nobel Recipient) had family origins from Bangladesh. So did film and music luminaries like Ritwik Ghatak, Ravi Shankar, RD Burman, SD Burman and the entire lineage of Ustad Alauddin Khan's family. Sen family actresses like Suchitra, Moon Moon, Raima and Riya have origins in Bangladesh, so does Sushmita Sen. All Bengali Smelly ugly runts I guess, per your characterizations.

Sushmita (ageless beauty)

Raima Sen

How about Kajol?

I could go on and on. A major portion of India's intellectual and cultural capital (to this day) comes from Bengalis originating in Bangladesh - owing to the educated liberal culture. Jihadi takma is just Modi propaganda.

Hello lungi.

Stop trying to ride piggyback on Bengalis.

They racially very different from you 5 foot runts. Darkies.

Their families all have roots in Bangladesh, Hindu or Muslim don't matter. Google their background.

All dark, smelly ugly runts - according to you.

Satyajit Ray's grandfather Upendrakishore Ray was born in Masua village, Kishoreganj, Mymensingh in 1863.

Here is Ray in 1940 - I consider him one of the greatest Bengalis of all time.

Nobel recipient Amartya Sen's family was from Bikrampur (Vikramapura) in Bangladesh (which was the capital and center of power for Pala, Sena and many successive dynasties in Bengal). Here he talks about progressive policies to lift up the poor - both in India and Bangladesh. He is a very good friend of our Chief adviser Dr. Yunus.



As were these mostly literary and media luminaries of India listed in the link below, I am also listing some who excelled in Science and technology and brought rare honors to all of India.

By the way - Sarojini Naidu's father was also born in Bikrampur, Bangladesh

You do not realise that we Indians are huge on complexion and looks and caste and blood and our Bengalis are quite open about the difference between them and you.

Its no secret which part of the population converted en masse. And which resisted.

As if that were not enough, up until now our nations have been quite friendly. We've seen Bangladeshi cricket crowds quite clearly. In all their pomp and striped splendor.

And we are no strangers to Bangladeshis who come to India in their thousands for treatment. Every month. Year on year. For decades.

And we also have thousands of Indians like Guri going over regularly for business.

You are not an exotic unknown tribe for us.

There is a distinct looking down the nose of Bengalis where Bangladeshis are concerned. Racially. Caste. Food. Looks. Color. Dialect. Literature. Fine arts. Culture. Dance. Clothes. Wealth. Gentrification.

You are not their poor cousins. You are their historically disenfranchised dalits.

You have deranged thoughts and have no clue about the history of Bangladesh. Being a parsee - part of one of the biggest persecuted groups in history, I expected better.

It is clear that your friends who you hang out with are truly uneducated and insecure about color complexion and other garbage. If you bring that up in my own friend circle, no one will ever invite you to their house again. These are called social pariahs and they deserve to be avoided.

My experience is different. You can call someone a dalit - but a true educated "Bengali" person (whether from India or Bangladesh) will not. I consider several socially reputed (and highly educated) Kolkata Brahmins and Kayasth families as my own family, and although no one will ever call these family members or me a dalit (My skin tone is lighter than most desis and Iranians and am taller than most of them as well) I don't consider that a trait of superiority like some uneducated and semi-educated people in South Asia. Uneducated people annoy and bore me with their poison and hatred.

One's physical attributes are nothing to feel superior about. These traits are given by Allah and they can be taken away by Allah as well. To think otherwise is the sign of a deranged mind.

One cannot improve one's ancestry or looks, but they can try and excel in education and broaden their mind - thereby becoming a wiser human being.

Average height in my Bangladeshi and Bengali friend circle is a little over six foot. I don't know what hogwash you are pushing just to trigger Bangladeshis here.

Everyone in Bangladesh is not dark or short, which is a myth pushed by insecure people. I have repeatedly shown you proof why the prevalence of stunting is much higher in India rather than Bangladesh. Statistics do not lie.

This is sad - but nothing to feel good and superior about.

Casteism in India (even non-Hindu) is strongest with poorer or middle class uneducated and socially disenfranchised groups in India, and because of this history they hate the guts out of each other. These are the H1Bs in the US (mostly lower caste) who had nothing to their name back in India and want to prove that they have "arrived" socially by buying used BMWs, MBZs and Audis just to show other Indians they are "somebody" now.

These Indian people always have anal-retentive tendencies, are wife-beaters, are loud and drunk at parties in typical low class fashion and are attention-seeker cringe-worthy people. They are also inveterate Modi propagandists and graduates of WhatsApp University. You go around in their house and you will find plenty of idols to pray to, but no books.

It takes several generations to get past these cringeworthy attributes and gain some wisdom.

Being newly pseudo-educated "new Indians" (graduated from Anna Malai technical school with eight month degrees in software QA), these are the people I always avoid.
