Also, this year, according to experts, the status of domestic crop production and should not have been imported, the government canceled the seasonal ban on imports, which also caused significant damage to both foreign rice and domestic rice markets.

In this regard, and given that the root cause of the disruption was due to the lack of a single trustee for rice strategic commodity; The Rice Manufacturers and Suppliers Association was formed and today it officially started.

The formation of the Association of Rice Manufacturers and Suppliers, which consists of leading farmers, large chain stores and famous traders, can also help the government regulate the market and help to have a more balanced market in this area. .
