The government will buy six lakh metric tonnes of boro paddy directly from farmers this season, Agriculture Minister Dr Abdur Razzak said today.
The authorities are preparing a farmers list up to the union level for a lottery so that no one gets deprived, the minister said at a program in International Chamber of Commerce Bangladesh (ICCB) in Dhaka.
However, the rate of paddy purchase was not announced yet.
