Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi on Thursday said the government has no restrictions on importing food products from Russia and Ukraine or any other country.
The minister was talking to the media after a top-level government officials’ meeting on import of food grains and products held at the secretariat in Dhaka.
He said the importing of food products was discussed at the meeting in detail, and there is no national or international issue regarding this.
The overall condition of the food stock of the country was discussed along with exports but the matter of fuel didn’t come up, said the minister.
“There are globally 24 banks from where Bangladesh can import food with dollar if necessary,” said Tipu.
Replying to a question, he said, “The matter of finding a lower rate of dollar is a different matter and we didn’t discuss it.”
