Rice to be sold at MRP rates during festive season
Rice will be sold at the maximum retail price at Sathosa outlets in view of the upcoming festive season, the Finance Ministry said.
This decision had been reached during a meeting between Finance Secretary Sajith Attygalle and district secretaries today (Nov 28), the ministry said in a press release.
Paddy had been purchased from farmers during the 'Maha' season between September 2018 and March this year and had been stocked in the storage facilities owned by the Paddy Marketing Board.
Accordingly, it was decided to mill the paddy stocks into rice grains and to sell them at wholesale rates to the state-owned Sathosa outlets by next week.
The Finance Ministry said this matter had been taken up for discussion to ensure the sufficient supply of rice during the festive season in December.
