Bangladesh tenders to import 100,000 tonnes of rice

DHAKA, Nov 13 (Reuters) Bangladesh's Food and Disaster Management Ministry has issued a tender to import 100,000 tonnes of non-basmati parboiled rice to meet post-monsoon demand, food officials said on Tuesday.

The tender will close on Dec. 24, with validity up to Jan.

13, for shipment within 30 days of the date of signing of the contract.

The tender price has to be quoted separately for the country's Chittagong and Mongla ports, based on the cost of cargo, insurance and freight including stevedoring on the seller's account, at the both ends of the shipment.
