The Trading Corporation of Pakistan has floated a tender to buy 100,000 metric tons of rice for onward supply to Bangladesh, European traders said on Monday.
The state-run agency has invited price offers by November 28, with bids required to remain valid for 21 working days. The tender specifies long-grain white rice, which must be ready for shipment within 45 calendar days of the contract award.

Traders said the TCP tender could bring Pakistani rice into Dhaka’s procurement mix, although some market expectations point to Indian-origin rice being used to fulfil earlier Bangladeshi purchases.
