<h1>Indian exporter wins interim Bangladesh tender for 50,000 tonnes rice at USD 359.77/tonne, delivery by sea in 40 days</h1> An Indian exporter secured an interim Bangladesh government tender for 50,000 tonnes of rice at USD 359.77 per tonne, with delivery by sea on large vessels within 40 days. Bidders from multiple countries participated; two West Bengal exporters unsuccessfully bid. Bangladesh aims to procure substantial rice volumes (including a previously announced 900,000-tonne plan, with 500,000 tonnes for private importers) to build stocks ahead of possible floods and expand subsidised distribution. Indian states with strong milling capacity are expected to benefit, and key export gateways include Visakhapatnam and Paradip. India has also created a non-basmati rice development fund to promote exports and industry coordination.
