Too much rice in the country Mehedi Hasan/Dhaka TribuneWhat can the government do to help our rice farmers? There are dual forces at play -- those that increase costs of production and those that lower market prices. 40% of the final market price benefits millers and other private sector intermediaries. But this may be too late as a huge volume of rice has already been imported. When the market price falls below that price, the government purchases stocks directly from farmers at the predetermined price.
