NBR lifts duties on rice import

The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has lifted all import and regulatory duties on rice to ensure food security and control prices for the common people.
To this end, the revenue authority issued a Statutory Regulatory Order (SRO) on Thursday.
Earlier, the Directorate of Food submitted a report on the country overall rice stocks to the food ministry. Bangladesh Trade and Tariff Commission (BTTC) sent another report to food and commerce ministries, and the NBR about the rice price situation.
