After being closed for 65 days due to corona, onion import started through the port on June 8 following the hygiene rules. Importer Bablur Rahman said onion imports from India have started after a long hiatus. As Eid-ul-Adha is ahead, the demand for onions increases at this time. This has increased the import of onions. Meanwhile, the demand for onions has also declined due to the declaration of red zones in different districts of the country to prevent corona infection. As a result, prices have come down. Last week, 5,069 metric tonnes of onions were imported in 28 Indian trucks through land ports. In the first two working days of this week, 1,600 metric tons of onions arrived in 60 trucks. He further informed. It is taking some extra time for onions to come from India as there is limited import and export through the port in compliance with the health regulations. It takes 4-5 days for the trucks to enter the port. As a result, onions are rotting and the quality is deteriorating as they are kept in the truck for a long time due to excessive heat. Due to this the price is decreasing. Importers are also losing money.
