Bangladesh Persuades India not to Stop Rice Import to Bangladesh


Bangladesh foreign minister Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury said that Bangladesh government has initiated a diplomatic initiative to persuade the Indian authority not to stop rice import to Bangladesh. Recently Indian authority banned exports of non-basmati parboiled rice to keep prices stable in India's domestic market.

In an interview with Voice of America’s Bangla Service, Indian High Commissioner Pinak Ranjan Chakravarty said the ban on rice exports from India does not include 500,000 tons bought by Bangladesh under a state-to-state deal.
