Onions, garlic and more imported from Afghanistan through ICP at Attari-Wagah border.
Sep 15, 2023

Onions and garlic are being imported this season from Afghanistan through the Integrated Check-Post (ICP) at the Attari-Wagah border after a few years and not only that the import of dry fruits from the war-torn country has doubled but their prices remain higher side as the festival season in the country has started.
 
Sources at that ICP said that after two to three years, one to two truckloads of onions have been coming for the last three days and each truck is carrying between 20 to 40 tons. Not only that, ten to fifteen trucks of garlic are coming daily.
 
The import of both onion and garlic to India was restarted because these crops were damaged this season due to untimely rain and hailstorms resulting in a price surge.
