Bangladesh's state grains buyer has issued an international tender to purchase 50,000 tonnes of rice, traders said on Wednesday.

The tender seeks import by land transport by railway. Traders said this would mean Indian rice would be likely to be supplied.

The deadline for submission of price offers is 4 October.

A separate tender from Bangladesh for 50,000 tonnes of rice closes on 23 September.

The new tender seeks price offers for non-basmati parboiled rice and loading of the first 50 per cent of the purchase is required 25 days after contract award.
