Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) is a government-owned company responsible for ensuring the supply and price stability of essential commodities in Bangladesh. It was established in 1976 with the aim of controlling price volatility. TCB plays a vital role in the import, storage and distribution of essential commodities such as rice, sugar, wheat and edible oil. And TCB intervenes in the market during times of shortages and inflation, selling goods at subsidized rates to support low and middle-income households. By monitoring prices and managing the supply chain, TCB contributes to economic stability, food security and consumer protection across the country.
