Thanks to ongoing rice imports via Hili Land Port, low-income consumers are benefiting from a 5–6 Taka per kg price drop. Between 12 and 30 August, 911 trucks brought 39,472 metric tons of Indian rice into Bangladesh. Varieties like Swarna, Sampak Katari, and Miniket are now cheaper in retail markets. Importers continue operations despite minimal profit, supported by the government’s reduced 2% duty, ensuring sufficient supply and stabilizing market prices across the country.
