Bangladesh: Ten more firms get egg import permission.
Oct 25, 2023

The government permitted another 10 companies to import 50 million eggs on Monday, bringing the total number of companies with the permission to 25 and the total number of eggs to 200 million.
 
The latest decision came at a time when 15 companies, which had previously received permission to import 150 million eggs, were yet to bring in a single piece of egg into the country.
 
The new companies that received permission to import eggs are Siam International, Karim Dairy, Khan Sons Corporation, Mahima Enterprises, Karima Consignment, Neela Trading Co, Ahmed Business & Commerce Pvt Ltd, Atcom International, JBS Food Products & Industries Ltd and Arif Sea Food.
 
On October 8, five companies got permission to import 50 million eggs. They were Lucky Enterprise, Union Venture, JFJ Paradise Connection, Pinki Traders and Layek Enterprise.
 
On September 17, four private companies -- Mim Enterprise, Tiger Trading, Prime Energy and Arnab Trading -- received permission to import 40 million eggs.
 
Later that month, six more companies -- BDS Corporation, SM Corporation, Ripa Enterprise, Popular Trade Syndicate, Joynur Traders, and Cheese Gallery -- were granted egg import permission.
 
Each of the 15 companies that received permission in September and October is allowed to import 10 million eggs. The 10 new companies that received permission on Monday are allowed to import 5 million eggs each.
 
The import condition includes bringing in eggs from bird-flu and avian influenza-free foreign sources.
 
Cheese Gallery proprietor Zakir Hosain said they received permission from the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports last week and have completed all formalities of the letters of credit (LCs).
 
'We are expecting that Indian eggs will enter the country after the Durga Puja festival as ports are now closed,' he said.
 
Meanwhile, the retail price of eggs is currently Tk 13.5-14 a piece, against the government-fixed rate of Tk 12.
 
According to the commerce ministry, Bangladesh has a daily demand for 40 million eggs.
