Adviser to resume meeting today on expediting food procurement

The food ministry's meeting with the representatives of the North Bengal Rice Mill Owners' Association was adjourned at the Bangladesh Secretariat on Sunday with the millers mounting pressure on the government to continue supply of rice at Tk 28 a kilogram from its stock. The mill owners also demanded incentives to offset the losses they were reportedly incurring from selling rice at the prices fixed by the government, said meeting sources.
