Rice imports from India set to surge in flood-hit Bangladesh (Siasat Daily) 

June 28, 2022


Siasat Daily (Bangladesh) published an article on how rice imports in flood-hit Bangladesh will rise in the coming months. Sources said that several private importers have already placed orders with Indian rice exporters. According to IFPRI, as the Russia-Ukraine crisis continues to disrupt the global trade of key foods such as wheat and vegetable oils, along with fertilizers, impacts are falling heavily on countries such as Bangladesh. IFPRI added, “Dependent on imports of those items to feed its large population, many poor and vulnerable to shocks, the country faces the prospect of rising food insecurity.”
