Chattogram’s regional food office is on track to meet its 2024–25 Boro season target of 226,342 tonnes of paddy and rice, achieving 95.5% so far. Paddy and Atap rice targets are already complete, with parboiled rice purchases to finish within days. Higher prices and faster payments have boosted farmer participation. In contrast, previous seasons fell short due to quality issues, delays, and low prices. Nationwide, the government aims to procure 1.75 million tonnes this season to strengthen food reserves.
