The Paddy Marketing Board (PMB) has taken steps to introduce a new local variety of Nadu rice in the market under the name ‘Golden Rice’ to meet the existing customer demand for Nadu rice.
Paddy Marketing Board Chairman Buddhika Iddamalgoda said that the ‘Golden Rice’ Nadu variety which is produced by adding value to the red raw rice is expected to be released to the market in the first week of May.
He also said that Agriculture Minister Mahinda Amaraweera has given instructions to take steps to provide the ‘Golden Rice’ Nadu variety, which is to be released under the name of the PMB, at a lower price than the current prices for Nadu rice in the market.
