Description
Decided to purchase an additional 250 000 tonnes of paddy from the 2019 Boro harvest directly from farmers, in a bid to help producers cope with declines in local prices. The move raised the target of volumes to be procured under the 2019 Boro drive to a total of 400 000 tonnes of paddy and 1.15 million tonnes of rice.
