[Mr Munshi,
Criticism is welcome but calling Indians as despicable only proves you are an uncivilized Bangladeshi and nothing more--what will you feel as Bangladeshi, if somebody starts with language "Begger Bangladeshis are the problem?" You should learn how to criticize without spreading hatred.-Moderator]

Dear All,

I thought I should share this as it confirms my comments in my earlier
email on Indian exports of rice to Bangladesh and its attempts to
influence political events in Bangladesh. The immediate effect of the
Indian actions will be to cause suffering to the people of Bangladesh
and raise the political temperature in the country in the coming
months. The question is why did not the interim Government take
precautions against this Indian duplicity –

India raises rice export price to $500 per ton

The New Nation – December 31, 2007

India in a surprised move has raised export price of rice to
Bangladesh to US$ 500 per ton, equivalent to Tk 35kg, rendering the
import from the neighbouring country uncertain.

Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) of Indian Commerce Ministry
in a notification that came into force on Sunday said no rice can be
exported to Bangladesh at price less than US$ 500 per ton.

Customs officials at the Benapole land port told UNB that India jacked
up the rice export price for the third time during this year - first
in February to 315 dollars, the second in October to 425 dollars and
now to 500 dollars per ton.

No consignment of rice purchased under L/Cs at previous price was
allowed to pass through the Petrapole land port. Barely 1,000 tons for
which L/C was opened before October and the Indian authorities agreed
to release arrived at Benapole port today.

Importers declined to open fresh L/C for import of rice at the
abnormal high price. They estimated that the landing cost of Indian
rice at the enhanced price would come to around Tk 38 or 39 per
kilogram.

Mohammad Nasiruddin of Kazi Enterprise at Jessore, a rice importer,
viewed the Indian action as "an indirect pressure upon Bangladesh". He
said exporters in Burdwan, West Bengal, informed him that they could
easily sell quality rice to Bangladesh at 450 dollars per ton.

A senior customs official said no consignment of five lakh tons of
rice Indian pledged to sell has arrived till today. Indian External
Affairs Minister Pranob Mukherjee visiting Bangladesh in the wake of
November 15 devastating cyclone had committed that his government
would sell 5 lakh tons of rice to Bangladesh as a gesture of goodwill.
