In this Island Nation, the price of rice has become extremely expensive for a common man to bear, as reported by many consumers. In the general market, ₹200-240 per kilo is the new price of rice with minimum quality, as per the Colombo page.
Severe conditions in Sri Lanka have forced it to ban the imports of many essential commodities. This decision also includes food items that result in the surged prices of many edibles such as rice and milk powder.

Rice in Sri Lanka is being sold at discounted prices as per the verdicts of the Ministry of Trade, in which the network of wholesale “Lanka Sathosa outlets” is helping. As per the Colombo Page, the imported rice quantity is not able to meet the demands.

Battle Of Sri Lanka And ITs Economic Conditions
Sri Lanka is currently fighting its biggest economic war that is affecting its citizens adversely. Since the start of the COVID pandemic, this Nation continued facing a free fall in its economic conditions and the tourism sector crashed severely.
The country is incapable of importing essentials like food and fuel while facing long power cuts. These problems are the result of foreign exchange shortage as the Sri Lankan currency has deflated severely.
Suffering has forced citizens of the country to protest against the Government over the worst economic crisis in the decades. On Saturday in Colombo people protested against the Sri Lankan government outside the US Embassy.
