39,000MT onion to be imported from India ahead of Ramadan

Shawdesh Desk:

The government has approved import 39, 000 metric tonnes of onion from India though Sonamajsid land port in Chapainawabganj district to meet local demand ahead of holy Ramadan.

Somir Ghosh, deputy director of Sonamasjid Land Port Plant Quarantine Center, confirmed the information on Tuesday.

He said 31 importers of the land port got approval and the import will begin before Ramadan, reports UNB.

On December 8 last year, India restricted export of the onion to Bangladesh and other countries until March 31 to check soaring prices in local market.

India has permitted the export of 64,400 tonnes of onions to UAE and Bangladesh through the National Cooperative Exports Ltd, according to notifications issued by the Indian Ministry of Commerce and Industry on March 4.
