"We want to purchase one lakh (0.1 million) metric tons of rice from Bangladesh and such rice purchase trend will continue to remain in future," said Marc Coll, who is leading the visiting Pilipino rice exporters' team, following his a meeting with Agriculture Minister Dr M Abdur Razzaque at his ministry office in the city on Monday.
