# Government cuts Aman rice procurement prices despite rising farm costs

> Bangladesh lowered its Aman-season procurement prices for parboiled rice to Tk 49/kg and non-parboiled rice to Tk 48/kg, while raising the paddy price slightly to Tk 35/kg. The government plans to procure 850,000 tonnes from November 14 through February 28, including 300,000 tonnes of paddy.

## Why it matters

Lower rice procurement prices reduce the government’s price support for milled rice, while the higher paddy target may provide some support to farmgate prices. The overall price effect is limited by the procurement target and the lower rates for rice.
