The government has extended the deadline for exporting aromatic rice until April 30, allowing 21 companies additional time to complete their shipments, as the previous export window expired on November 30, 2025.

Jatiya Party Acting Chairman GM Quader criticises the government for its plan of exporting rice and says it will have to pay much if it exports food crops.

Government is considering exporting rice as the production has surpassed the required amount by 40-50 lakh metric tonnes at present, Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed says.
