Bangladesh will receive a large consignment of onions out of this weekend after India made a decision to make an exception for Dhaka in the 14 September order that banned export of onions.
Within an internal government communication seen by The Hindu, officials instructed India-Bangladesh border trade points to release the consignment of onions that Dhaka had already payed for prior to the ban order had enter into effect.
“You are accordingly requested to take further necessary action in the matter and spread necessary directions to your field formations to permit export of such eligible consignments,” explained an email from Nitish Suri, Deputy, Directorate General of Foreign Trade (Exports) (DGFT) of the Ministry of Commerce and Industries.
The onion ban has caused an emergency in Bangladesh, with skyrocketing onion prices affecting the whole agriculture sector in the united states. The neighbouring country this week sent an official note of protest to India saying such unexpected bans run counter to bilateral understandings reached in the recent past.
In January this season, Bangladesh had asked India to provide advance notice in case onions or other agriculture exports are stopped. The request was made after India halted onion exports last autumn, which impacted the yuletide season.
The most recent ban on onions had come as a surprise, as Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla completed a damage control visit to Dhaka on August 18-19 to stop visible signs of erosion in the ties. Your choice of the DGFT will probably help the onion suppliers of India, as a big quantity that that they had already supplied was vulnerable to perishing at various India-Bangladesh border trade points.
Bangladesh happens to be observing the centenary year of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, “Mujib Borsho,” and both sides have repeatedly pledged to take bilateral ties to new heights in this year.
