The Bangladesh government is set to buy 150,000 tonnes of rice from India under a state-to-state contract in an effort to resupply the public food stocks following scant procurement from the current Aman harvest season, according to a senior official of the food ministry.

"We will soon sign a contract in this regard," said Food Secretary Mosammat Nazmanara Khanum, adding that the agreed minutes were finalised on December 23.

The purchase follows a tender from the Directorate of Food for 250,000 tonnes of rice and 50,000 tonnes of wheat from international sources.
