Food adviser Ali Imam Majumder noted that rice prices are now becoming more affordable, but emphasized that prices shouldn't drop excessively, to ensure farmers receive fair value. “Fair pricing will encourage production,” he said. Highlighting a bumper Boro harvest, he discussed improvements in storage infrastructure, including the conversion of the Narayanganj port warehouse into a silo. Majumder also mentioned that Bangladesh consumes 7 million tons of wheat annually, while domestic production remains at just 1 million tons—making imports essential.
