The government has fixed rice prices following a slight hike in the retail market.
The mills will now have to sell fine quality Miniket rice at Tk 2,575 a sack of 50 kg and medium quality at Tk 2,250 in line with the new prices, reports bdnews24.com.
Food Minister Sadhan Chandra Majumder fixed the prices after sitting with the millers and traders at the Khadya Bhaban on Wednesday.
He said import of fine quality rice will begin if the businesses do not sell the grain at the fixed prices.
