Recently The Daily Star published news entitled, “The government has decided to procure Aman rice at a price of Tk 26 per kg.” I think this price is inadequate for the farmers. I would like to request the government to inquire about how much money the farmers have to spend and also how much labour they have to give for growing per kg of rice and fix the price accordingly to do our poor farmers justice.
