India stops exporting onions in Bangladesh: India stops exporting onions to Bangladesh Padmapare bejaya chaap – India will stop exporting onions in Bangladesh without any official announcement

This time the digital desktop: On the same day that Bangladesh exported hilsa to India, India stopped exporting onion to Bangladesh via various land ports in the country, including the land port of Petropole, without prior notice. India stopped exporting onions to Bangladesh since Monday. However, on the same day, 12 metric tons of hilsa were exported from Bangladesh to India. Bangladeshi traders are under a lot of pressure because India has suddenly stopped onion exports. About 150 trucks carrying onions are stuck at the Petrapole border due to the stoppage of onion exports. The situation is similar in other land ports. On the Indian side, however, onion exports were suspended on Monday due to some policy changes. It will be reintroduced after discussion.

It is worth mentioning that the General Directorate of Foreign Trade, a body dependent on the Central Government’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry, has issued an order to stop the export of onions. He said the directive would take effect soon. Most of the onions are exported from India mainly through the Bhomra border of Satkhira, the southern Hili border of Dinajpur and the Benapole border of Jessore. But on Monday afternoon, Benapole Customs Deputy Commissioner Kalyan Mitra Chakma said a truckload of onions was exported to India in the morning. But then it stopped.

However, Kartik Ghosh, a trader on behalf of the Petrapole Exporters Association, said that the association had decided not to export onions to Bangladesh below £ 750. That is why there are many trucks on the border. However, Rafiqul Islam Royal, a Benapole onion importer on behalf of Bangladesh, said the onions have been imported at £ 250 since the start of the import trade with India. But the price of onion has risen in India due to the floods in Nasik. As a result, onion exporters have said that they will not export onions below 650 to Bangladesh.

It should be noted that domestic onions are now sold at Rs 60-70 / kg and Indian onions at Rs 50-55 / kg in Bangladeshi markets. Even a month ago, the price was much lower. But the price of onions is not new in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, the price of onion rose to Rs 300 per kg in November last year. This time again, when India stopped exporting onions, Bangladeshi traders are concerned.
