The  Bangladesh government has started buying rice from the international market in its effort to replenish public food stocks and increase its capacity to intervene in the market to curb a price spike of the staple food.

As part of the move, the Directorate of Food floated a tender on Sunday to purchase 50,000 tonnes of parboiled rice from the international market.

It is likely to seek bids for another 50,000 tonnes soon, said Director General Sarwar Mahmud.
