Bangladesh seeks onion imports from India.
Feb 13, 2024

Foreign Minister of Bangladesh, Dr Hasan Mahmud, during his recent visit to New Delhi, requested India to export 50,000 tons of onions (as well as 100,000 tons of sugar) before Ramadan. Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal pledged to export 20,000 tons of onions. The meeting took place on February 9.
 
Dr Mahmud stated, 'We are dependent on the Indian market for many essential commodities, particularly onions, sugar, lentils and spices.' He further added, 'I requested them to set an export quota for us so that at least we can import these from them at the right price and per our requirement.'
 
In addition to trade discussions, Dr Mahmud also extended an invitation to Indian President Droupadi Murmu to visit Bangladesh.
