Although onion imports from India remain suspended following the export price hike by New Delhi, state-run Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) has continued to import onion through the Benapole land port.
The TCB will sell the onion to the low income group of people in open market at fair prices in different parts of the country. The customs and port authorities have been extending cooperation to the TCB so that the onion is released from the port as soon as possible. Meanwhile, onion prices have gone skyrocketed in the market after import from India has declined due to various complications. However, retailers have expressed the hope that the onion prices may decline in the market as the government has started import of onion through the TCB.
