The initiative is part of a broader set of measures undertaken by the ministry to stabilise commodity prices across the country and ensure affordable access to essential foodstuffs for low-income households.
Currently, the ministry is distributing rice and flour at subsidised rates through its ongoing open market sales initiative, which operates in city corporations, labour-intensive districts, upazilas, district headquarters and municipalities.
