Bangladesh is set to receive its first consignment of rice imported from India since the formation of the new interim govt even as it looks to be drawing closer to Pakistan than to its immediate neighbour India, which stood beside Bangladesh in 1971 through shared sacrifices.

With India’s white rice export ban creating opportunities, Pakistan has secured substantial orders from Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia by offering competitive prices and superior quality.

The Ministry warns that any compromise on compliance with food safety and phytosanitary standards can lead to stricter trade barriers or export bans, harming Pakistan’s economy and credibility.
