The MV Mariam, a cargo ship carrying the rice, docked at the Port of Chattogram today.
This was confirmed through a press release from the Ministry of Food.
The rice shipment arrived under a Government-to-Government (G2G) agreement.
Upon reaching the port, samples of the rice were tested, and the unloading process has already begun.
