It added that recent sharp increases in egg prices were behind the decision. The suspension of subsidies was a temporary decision until prices in local markets return to normal, it explained.
TheDailyStar reports that the suspension is a part of a new strategy involving adjustable subsidies on all exports that IDAL supports.
"This is also in line of a previously announced new agricultural export development programme dubbed ‘Agri Plus’ that will be launched early 2012," the statement added.
