Business Report :
Business leaders have called for maintaining a stable supply chain to keep the prices of essential daily commodities affordable.
Speaking at the meeting of FBCCI Standing Committee on ‘Essential Food Items’ today (29 June), they also demanded strict monitoring of the black market for daily essential products and simplification of import procedures.
Instead of relying solely on a few corporate companies to control the market of essential commodities, they advocated for equal opportunities for small and medium importers in importing these products.
FBCCI President Mahbubul Alam participated as the chief guest in the meeting virtually.
He mentioned that the trade body has already engaged with the higher authorities of the government to combat the black market of daily commodities, including sugar and spices.
Discussions on taxes and VAT have also taken place, with hopes for a positive outcome, he added.
Speaking at the meeting, FBCCI Senior Vice President Md Amin Helali stated that an unstable market environment has arisen due to various factors in the country.
To overcome this situation, he emphasised the need for a change in everyone’s attitude.
