\u201cBusinesses are therefore, encouraged to resume usual operations as MOTIE engages stakeholders in pursuing appropriate strategies for facilitating uninterrupted trade.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a separate development, the Trade ministry said it \u201cremains committed\u201d to ensuring that essential commodities are available, accessible, and affordable by the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of this engagement with the private sector, the Ministry wishes to inform the public that Ecotra Group Ltd in collaboration with National Food Security Processing & Marketing Cooperation (NFSC) has imported 5000 metric tonnes of 100% broken raw white rice (SARRO RICE) packed in 50kg bags, which is being sold at affordable prices,\u201d it stated.<\/p>\n
