Before Durga Puja 2021, Bangladesh to export 2080 MT Hilsa fish of Padma to India

Sept. 23: Hilsa fish is considered a great delicacy especially by the Bengalis. The demand for the fish during Durga Puja is extremely high in states like West Bengal and Assam as the quality of ‘Padmar Ilish’ or Hilsa fish from Padma river in Bangladesh is considered of superior quality. The government of Bangladesh has given permission to 52 trading organisations to export Hilsa fish to India on the occasion of the Durga Puja.

The Ministry of Commerce in a circular issued on Monday, allowed each organisation to export a maximum of 40 tonnes of Hilsa to India. The permission will remain effective till October 10. In 2020, Bangladesh exported more than 1450 MT of Hilsa to India while the quantity of export was 500 MT in 2019.
