They buy other things from us alright.
Many pakistani textile industries during power shortage move to Bangladesh. I know this current Regime is big on hatred but we have always managed things well in the past without making much fuss.

You sell mostly upscale bashmati which has no demand in bd.

So what verities you eat. I thought this long grained less sticky verities are popular in south Asia. Such as Sella, super Kerna, basmati, sawgat, zarafa etc etc.
Did Bangladeshi prefer Chinese or type rice , thick grained and quite sticky and small. Like they used in Chinese cuisine and sushi etc etc.

BD consumers non aromatic non sticky half boiled rice.
I don't know the name but we eat minicat at home. This is a common end product from different hybrid rice varieties.

Basmati is very expensive rice for regular folks in Bd. I prefer sela basmati when make biryaani or pulaoo.

We are self sufficient in rice. We even exported last year. But due to early flood we have a shortage this year.

How much is the shortage in tonnes?

 

[Homo Sapiens]

Why does Bangladesh import so much rice when it makes up 30% of its own GDP?

Entire agriculture is around 15% of GDP.So no way only rice would be 30%.

How much is the shortage in tonnes?

2 million ton import this year.Normal year production 34 million ton which evenly match with the requirement with small surplus to export..This year only 32 million ton produced due to severe flood.
