TCB plans to sell products to middle class also

State Minister for Commerce Ahsanul Islam Titu has said that Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) is planning to sell daily essentials to the middle class also in addition to low income people.

He made the disclosure while inaugurating the nationwide sale of TCB products from the Sheikh Fazlul Haque Moni playground at Paris Road at Mirpur No-11 in the capital on Sunday (June 2) morning, says a press release.

Then minister, however, did not elaborate the details of this plan, i.e., when and how the sale will start.

Contacted, a TCB official said the TCB products of daily essential food items will not be sold to the middle class at subsidised prices like low-income people, but some daily commodities like rice, pulse, and oil will be sold to them at 'fair prices'.

Mentionable, the TCB sells products at subsidised prices to one crore 'family cardholders' of low-income consumers across the country.
