Description
Extended the Boro procurement campaign to 30 September 2014, in order to ensure targeted volumes were fully purchased. Officials will also restrict purchases of Boro paddy to 50 000 tonnes, down from the original target of 150 000 tonnes, while making-up for this shortfall with additional milled rice purchases.
