paddy harvest of this month&#8217;s season through Sathosa and the Paddy Marketing Board, and to produce and distribute rice, says Minister of Trade and Commerce Wasantha Samarasinghe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Minister said that the government will intervene to end the rice shortages that occur from time to time in the country and to control prices and provide a guaranteed price to the farmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Minister made this statement to the media after an observation tour conducted to inspect the government paddy warehouses constructed in the Oya Maduwa area of \u200b\u200bAnuradhapura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Minister said that some rice mill owners are making extraordinary profits by taking advantage of serious irregularities in the market and that the government is identifying these irregularities and finding solutions to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Minister said that nearly thirty percent of the country&#8217;s paddy production is purchased by large mill owners and the remaining products are purchased by small and medium-sized rice mill owners, adding that the government will also take steps to purchase paddy to minimize the irregularities in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, to minimize the existing rice shortage in the country, 86,000 metric tons of rice were imported into the country by the 31st, further expressing his views and saying that the free limit on rice import will be removed after the 10th of this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u0dc0\u0dd3 \u0db8\u0dd2\u0dbd\u0daf\u0dd3 \u0d9c\u0dd0\u0db1\u0dd3\u0db8\u0da7 \u0dc3\u0dad\u0ddc\u0dc3 \u0dc3\u0dd6\u0daf\u0dcf\u0db1\u0db8\u0dca
