DescriptionInvited exporters to submit bids for the supply of 300 000 tonnes of 25% broken rice, on a Government-to-Government basis, by 8 June 2020. Out of this volume, half would need to be delivered no later than 22 June 2020, with the balance arriving by 22 July 2020. The imports would go to ensure a sufficient buffer stock during the lean months, in light of export restrictions put in place by some exporters of rice.
