Rice prices are rising in the season full of Aman. But now the price is about to come down. Sources in the Ministry of Agriculture said that the production of Aman was not as per the target due to various reasons including floods and heavy rains. That is why the price of paddy has gone up. This has affected the rice.
However, the production of Aman was not good — the Ministry of Food refused to accept it. They say 1 crore 50 lakh tonnes of Aman rice will be produced this season. It is close to the target. So why is the price of rice rising in the Aman season, the question now consumers?
Food Minister Sadhan Chandra Majumder said some unscrupulous rice traders in the country are taking advantage of the Corona epidemic. They are raising the price of rice abnormally even in the season full of Aman. That is why we will take strict action against them.
According to sources, it was not possible to procure paddy from the domestic market as per the target in the last Boro season. Although the mill owners entered into an agreement with the Food Department, many did not put rice in the warehouse due to the high price of rice. At the same time, the government's stocks are rapidly declining due to the distribution of food grains among the victims of the Corona epidemic and the four-point flood. And a class of unscrupulous traders is taking advantage of this by reducing the amount of food stored by the government.
