Onion importers in the Hili land port in Dinajpur are in trouble because India has stopped onion exports to various countries around the world, including Bangladesh, under the pretext of the internal crisis and rising prices. The Indian government suddenly implemented this decision without any prior announcement on Monday.
Meanwhile, 250 to 300 Indian trucks loaded with onions are stuck in India waiting to enter the country as the onions were not imported through the port on Monday. Apart from this, the importers of this port are also concerned about the arrival of some 10,000 tons of onions to the country.
The onion sells for Rs 44 to Rs 48 per kg in the land ports market at Rs. Last Sunday and tomorrow Monday this onion was sold for 36 rupees.
Shankar Das, a C&F agent in Healy, India, said the Indian government’s Foreign Trade Department had issued a notice on the matter last night. It has been said that the importation of onions to Bangladesh will stop until new orders are placed.
Shankar Das also said that recent floods in India have destroyed the onion crop. Because of this, prices have risen due to stock reduction. The government has made this decision to control prices.
Harun Ur Rashid, Chairman of Healy Land Port Import-Export Group, said: Because of this, no onion was imported yesterday through the Healy land port. Healy land port importers alone have established LC in India to import around 10,000 tonnes of onions. In contrast, 250-300 Indian trucks with onions are stuck in India. If these truckloads of onions cannot enter the country, the onions will rot and rot. We have to count the losses. We want our LC onions to be shipped to the country.
