52,500 tonnes of Indian wheat arrive at Chattogram port

A consignment of 52,500 tonnes of government wheat has arrived at Chattogram Port from neighbouring India.

The ship is currently at the outer anchorage of Kutubdia Port. Once the customs clearance and other ancillary processes, including the plant quarantine certificate, are completed on Monday, they will be unloaded at Chattogram Silo by a lighter ship, according to Chattogram Food Department sources.

The previous week, another ship brought 52,500 tonnes of wheat.

Chattogram District Food Controller (Additional Responsibilities) Mohammad Abdul Kader said two government wheat ships arrived in May.

The batches are being delivered to the warehouses of the food department all over the country. There are two more ships in the pipeline. This wheat will be sold or distributed on government channels.
