Sri Lanka Customs has confirmed that 3,500 MT of Ponni Samba rice have been imported to Sri Lanka in order to ease the prevailing shortage of Keeri Samba rice in the local market.
The first batch of this rice arrived on Oct. 23, followed by more shipments arriving on Oct. 24 and 25, according to the Customs.
The move follows the Cabinet’s approval on Oct. 15 to import GR/11 Ponni Samba rice per importer without the need for import permits, aiming to mitigate the domestic Keeri Samba rice shortage
