"This time rotten rice has been imported from Thailand, after rotten wheat from Africa. A hullabaloo is on in Chittagong after the news of the rotten rice came to light two days ago," he said. The food ministry imported over 200,000 tonnes of wheat from Brazil earlier this year. He also expressed concern that the Thai ships were trying to sell the consignments through private channels after the government had asked to take those back. He claimed the people fear whether the other consignments were also of poor quality rice.
