A ship with 52,500 tonnes of government wheat arrived at Chittagong Port on Wednesday from war-torn Ukraine.
Officials of Chattogram District Food Department have collected samples of wheat on Thursday from the Liberia-flagged ship in outer anchorage.
Once the customs clearance and other ancillary processes are done, the ship Magnum Fortune will arrive at the specialised silo jetty to unload the import.
The government procured the food grain on a government-to-government (G2G) basis last September. Another shipment of wheat from Russia is also in the offing.
Earlier on 13 October, the Silak-2 carrying 52,000 tonnes of wheat arrived at Chittagong port from Russia.
