Govt to Buy Aman Paddy at Tk 35, Parboiled Rice at Tk 49 per Kg

The government has fixed the procurement prices of Aman paddy at Tk 35 per kilogram, parboiled rice at Tk 49 and non-parboiled rice at Tk 48 for the 2026–27 fiscal year.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the Food Planning and Monitoring Committee on Sunday.

Under the procurement programme, the government plans to purchase 300,000 tonnes of Aman paddy, 500,000 tonnes of parboiled rice and 50,000 tonnes of non-parboiled rice during the current season.

The procurement of Aman paddy will begin on November 14 and continue until February 28, 2027. Meanwhile, purchases of parboiled and non-parboiled rice will start on December 1 and run until February 28, 2027.

The meeting reviewed the country's overall food situation, including preparations for the upcoming Aman procurement drive, existing foodgrain stocks, government food distribution and imports.

Officials were informed that the government was working to establish a modern, farmer-centred agricultural system and ensure food and nutrition security in line with commitments made in the 2026 election manifesto.

Ensuring fair prices for farmers' produce has been identified as the primary objective of this year's procurement programme.
