Govt mulls to import onion from India: Razzaque

The government has a plan to import onion from India soon, said Agriculture Minister Dr M Abdur Razzaque.

The decision will be implemented as the price of the commodity becomes just more than double at Taka 80 per kilogram in a month, he said.

He told the journalists that the government has a plan to import onion from India as the decision will be taken shortly if the price of the essentials would not come under control at the local market.

The price of the kitchen item would not rise more than Taka 45 per kg, said the minister, adding that the price of the item is likely to reduce to Taka 45 if the import would take place.”
