Ministry of Food (MoFood) was originally the Ministry of Food and Civil Supplies created in 1971 at independence; reorganised in 2012 when Disaster Management was split off as a separate ministry. In Tarique Rahman's 13th Parliament cabinet (sworn February 17, 2026), the Food portfolio was merged into a combined Agriculture, Food, Fisheries and Livestock brief held by technocrat minister Mohammad Amin Ur Rashid; Sultan Salahuddin Tuku (BNP, Tangail-5) serves as State Minister for the same combined portfolio and is the public face of food policy announcements. The standalone ministry budget for MoFood is not published separately in Bangladesh's FY 2025-26 budget documents; the combined agriculture cluster (Agriculture + Food + Fisheries and Livestock) was allocated Tk 39,620 crore. Food Secretary was changed April 21, 2026: Abu Taher Md Masud Rana replaced Md Firoz Sarkar. The 19.20 lakh MT stock figure (rice 15.79 lakh MT, wheat 3.39 lakh MT) cited in parliament circa April 10, 2026 is confirmed by BSS, UNB, Daily Star, and Dhaka Tribune. Haor flash flood damage (late April 2026): 46,000+ ha inundated, shortfall estimated at 200,000+ MT; emergency 500,000 MT rice import directive issued. Boro 2026 procurement prices are unchanged from Boro 2025 despite reported farm gate production cost of Tk 32.97/kg, drawing farmer discontent. Storage infrastructure: 4 operational silos plus 1,012 CSDs and LSDs; capacity expanded to 23.88 lakh MT after completion of silos in Madhupur, Barishal, Mymensingh, and Narayanganj. DGFood operates the PFDS (OMS, Food Friendly Programme at Tk 10/kg for 55 lakh families, VGF, FFW, etc.).
