Description
In light of the national emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, decided to temporarily suspend stipulations approved in 2015 that prohibit sales of rice by tying rice to other products, through raffles, promotions or other practices deemed contrary to state rice price regulation. The decision took immediate effect and its duration will be reviewed in accordance with the development of the national state of emergency.
