A ship carrying 60,875 metric tonnes of wheat from the United States arrived at Mongla Port on Saturday, under the government-to-government agreement between the two countries.

This is the third consignment under the deal, which provides for the import of a total of 440,000 metric tonnes of wheat from the US.

The first shipment of 56,959 metric tonnes arrived on 25 October 2025, followed by the second consignment of 60,802 metric tonnes on 3 November 2025.

With today's delivery, the total quantity of wheat received so far stands at 178,636 metric tonnes.

Sample testing of the wheat on board has already begun, and preparations are underway for its prompt unloading once testing is completed.
