The Cabinet on Sunday approved the introduction of licensing requirements to regulate the storage of rice and paddy. The move is to curb illegal rice and paddy hoarding in the face of shortages of the main staple food variety due to bad weather. Although the Act has been in force for more than 50 years, it remains largely unchanged and lacks provisions to address the challenges of modern markets. Cabinet spokesperson Dr Nalinda Jayatisa said the move is expected to increase transparency, curb market manipulation by traders and large millers, prevent artificial shortages and price manipulation, and ensure consumers have access to basic food supplies. The proposal submitted by the Minister of Agriculture, Land, Livestock and Irrigation has been approved by the Cabinet.
