Government will not withdraw sugar subsidy
The government will not completely withdraw the sugar subsidy to avoid burdening the people, Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said on Sunday.
The Bangladeshi government has waived import duty on raw sugar and slashed duty on refined sugar aiming to keep prices of the consumer good stable in the local market during the upcoming holy Ramadan month, expected to begin on the second week of August, an official said Tuesday.
