Indonesia imposes import tariff on rice as supply improves
JAKARTA, April 14 (Xinhua) -- Indonesian finance ministry has imposed an import tariff for rice following the improvement of supply of the commodity from domestic sources, spokesman of the ministry said on Thursday.
Previously, the government canceled the import tariff following rising prices of the commodity and chillies prices due to lack of supply impacted by weather phenomenon, which had triggered inflation to a 21-month high of 7.02 percent in January.
