Interim Food Advisor Ali Imam Majumder stated that while rice prices have slightly increased during the peak season, claims of a significant surge are exaggerated. Speaking after a food security seminar in Dhaka, he confirmed the government is closely monitoring the market to prevent further hikes. He also announced a Japan-assisted loan deal to build a modern food testing lab in Dhaka, with additional advanced facilities in Khulna and Chattogram under BFSA to ensure food safety and accelerate quality control processes.
Acting Food Advisor Ali Imam Majumder has said that while it is not entirely accurate to claim rice prices have surged significantly during the peak harvesting season, there has been a slight increase. Measures are being taken to monitor the situation to ensure prices do not rise further.
