Apple growers in Kashmir are worried as Bangladesh, where around 30 percent apple produce is exported, has hiked the assessment value by around 40 percent. President Kashmir Fruit Growers and Dealers Association, Fruit Mandi Sopore, Fayaz Ahmad Malik said that last year the duty levied by the Bangladesh government was huge already.
“We have already taken this issue to all concerned authorities and are going to meet the Union Agriculture Minister and Foreign Affairs minister so that they can take up the issue with their Bangladesh counterparts,” he said.
