Food Adviser Ali Imam Majumder on Saturday said the government is working sincerely to break the syndicate in the rice market.

“To keep rice prices stable in the market, the government has taken various initiatives to boost supply,” he said.

The adviser was speaking at a view-exchange meeting held at the Jashore Circuit House conference room on the collection, stock, and price situation of food grains in Khulna division.

Ali Imam said rice prices tend to rise when supply decreases in the market. However, the government food warehouses have adequate rice stocks, he added.

Compared to last year, the adviser said, the amount of paddy and rice collected in government food warehouses is significantly higher this year, leading to a comfortable stock level.
