Seized rice and sugar to be sold in Sathosa outlets
Large stocks of sugar and rice that were seized recently will be taken over by the government and sold to the public through Sathosa outlets at a lower rate, a senior official of the Agriculture Ministry said.
He said this decision was taken following a meeting between Agriculture Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage and Essential Services Commissioner General Major General M.D.S.P. Niwunhella.
“At the meeting it was revealed that thousands of metric tons of sugar and rice have been hidden by traders in order to create an artificial shortage in the market and the Consumer Affairs Authority will continue to seize stocks”, he said.
He said plans are afoot to sell a kilo of rice at 97 rupees and a kilo of seized white sugar less than Rs. 130 at Sathosa outlets.
