Vegetables stuck at Dhaka Airport

Kawsar Ahmed Sumon took 1,500 kilograms of vegetables and betel leaves to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka on March 25 to export them to Saudi Arabia. But he missed the flight due to a lengthy cargo screening process and eventually had to sell the perishable goods in a local market for a quarter of the price.

The goods were valued at more than US$6,000, he said. His case is one of the many examples of shipment failures at the Dhaka airport due to the time-consuming physical screening of goods and the poorly skilled staff of Biman Bangladesh Airlines. Only four scanners are there to screen more than 800 tonnes of goods every day, which is mainly blamed for the delay in the shipping process.
