According to the sources the one-kilo of rice named 'Rangoon Kakulu' will be sold at a price between 50 to 55 rupees.
Sri Lanka government decided to import 100,000 metric tons of rice from Myanmar as the sky rocketing rice prices started to become a political football.

The imported rice stocks from Myanmar will be sold through cooperative societies, the Ministry further added.
