Tenders called to import 70,000 metric tonnes of Nadu rice

Tenders have been called from suppliers to import 70,000 metric tonnes of Nadu rice from India, Lanka Sathosa Chairman Samitha Perera said.

Suppliers have been given a seven-day period, starting today (29), to submit their quotations.

Perera said that the rice should be imported into the country by mid-December.

The Cabinet of Ministers last week granted approval for the import of 70,000 metric tonnes of rice as a short-term solution to address the existing shortage of rice in the market.
