The Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) announced that it will sell essential commodities across the country through truck sales during the upcoming holy month of Ramadan. The state-run agency said in a notice on Tuesday that the initiative aims to support ordinary citizens by providing goods at subsidized prices. The truck sale program is expected to begin the day before Ramadan starts.

According to the TCB statement, the ongoing subsidized sales to smart cardholder families will continue alongside the truck sales. Through this special Ramadan initiative, TCB plans to reach 3 to 3.5 million consumers nationwide. The products to be sold include the corporation’s regular items—edible oil, lentils, and sugar—along with chickpeas and dates, which are in high demand during Ramadan.

TCB added that details on the quantity and prices of the products to be sold through the truck sales will be announced later.
