According to State Minister for Commerce Ahsanul Islam Titu, Bangladesh is set to receive 50,000 tons of onions from India in the coming days, despite a recent export ban by the Indian government. This move comes after India granted an exemption to Bangladesh and five other nations, allowing them to import onions in an effort to stabilize domestic markets. Bangladesh, receiving the bulk of the exemption with 50,000 tons out of 54,000 tons allocated, will see the arrival of these onions through the Darshana route. "The Indian embargo on onion export will not affect its deal with Bangladesh.
As per the agreement to import 50,000 tons of Indian onion, it will gradually come to Bangladesh. Our onions from India have already boarded trains which will arrive in two or three days," stated Ahsanul Islam Titu. This development underscores the ongoing trade cooperation between India and Bangladesh.
