The Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) today (March 13) announced that the Maximum Retail Prices of rice remain unchanged.
The CAA notes that reports have emerged of certain rice mill owners and wholesalers attempting to sell rice at higher prices by misleading retailers into believing that the CAA’s regulated prices have changed, leading to queries whether it is so.
Therefore the MRP remains unchanged and are as below :
Raw red rice – Rs. 220 per kg
Nadu rice – Rs. 230 per kg
Samba rice – Rs. 240 per kg
Keeri Samba rice – Rs. 260 per kg
The CAA further emphasizes that continuous raids and investigations will be conducted islandwide to strictly enforce these price regulations and take legal action against any violators.
