Naogaon Correspondent :
The current market of paddy and rice is inconsistent. This has created such obstacles during the collection by the government. Similarly, Naogaon, the best destination for rice production, and the producers of the Santahar Auto-Rice Mills across the border in Naogaon in West Bogura have suffered economically.
The information obtained was disclosed to multiple mill owners sources in the two areas. It is learned that after the completion of the government procurement drive, the government will not be able to sell more than Tk 2575 per 50 kg bag of rice to the millers.
After the issuance of such instructions, the mill owners are being forced to sell rice at the government price per sack. Millers, meanwhile, said their production cost per bag is Rs 2,700 to Rs 2,750. On an average, they have to sell at 200 rupees less than their production cost per sack.
