The first shipment of rice ordered from India is scheduled to arrive at the Colombo Port today.
The shipment is the first in a series and consists of 12,500 MT of Nadu rice.
This is the first shipment of a total of 72,000 MT of Nadu rice ordered from an Indian private supplier and a result of the Sri Lanka Government’s Indian private sector order. The orders were placed on the direction of the Cost of Living Committee to overcome rice shortages and price manipulations by unscrupulous elements.
The Cooperative Wholesale Establishment (CWE) under the Ministry of Industry and Commerce will receive the imports and will make it available to Lanka Sathosa under the ministry.
The wholesale cost is expected to be Rs. 72 per kg while the retail price is to be Rs. 74.
