Abdus Sobhan Sardar, Assistant Food Controller at Mongla Food Office, said the wheat import is being carried out under the Government-to-Government (G2G) agreement between the United States and Bangladesh. Under this arrangement, a total of 450,000 tons of wheat will be imported through Mongla Port. The imported wheat is initially stored at the government food warehouse, Mongla Silo, before being distributed to various districts across the country.
