Bangladesh to import onion from Pakistan after 15yrs

What is so exciting about BD buying Onions from Pakistan, and too just 12 containers which is nothing more than peanut.

We are a natural choice for them as our prices are competitive after India ban onion exports.

Then be ready to export 75% of 7-11 lakhs ton of onion annually in reasonable price . We usually import such huge amount from India .

There was a time when the salt price went up to 80 Taka per kg before he was killed.
So should we not blame them for his killing who created artificial crisis? Atleast Hasina said that the crisis is artificial, and many onions are rotten yet do not sell in market ? So who are behind the crisis?
Are they same peoples who had shaken Bangabandhu Govt ? Many question can be asked , although answers were always written by winners !

Government to import onion by air cargo on emergency basis

The government has taken a decision to import onion from other countries by air on emergency basis from Sunday as price of key cooking ingredient skyrocketed to Tk 250 per kg in the domestic market on Friday, breaking all the previous records and triggering outrage among consumers.

Commerce Secretary Md Jafar Uddin confirmed the information on Friday afternoon.

The secretary said that the state-run Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) and private organisation S Alam Group will import the onions by air cargo initially.


“Importing onion by air cargo will continue until the price of the essential cooking ingredient come down to normal level,” he said.

A deputy secretary has been sent to Turkey for importing onion. Moreover, another deputy secretary is currently in Egypt for the same purpose, he added.

Onion price has been on an upward trend over the last few months, but the latest spell has put the common people, especially the low, middle and fixed income groups at a difficult state.

Prices of local onion has increased by 340 per cent and the price of imported onion jumped by 416.67 per cent compared to the same time last year, according to Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) data.

People behind salt selling at 80Taka per kg belonged to BAL. Think of Hasnat Serniabat, the son of Abdur Rab Serniabat who married Mujib's elder sister. This time also, people behind the onion crisis are from BAL. It is because political people have deep roots.

BD's present crisis is manmade and superficial. The stockists are using Indian non-supply to raise the profits by 50 folds. When Pakistani onions arrive it will damp down the price. Probably, the govt will issue new statements saying further imports are underway.

Yes . And now all so called relatives are out you see. Lot's of uncle toms are out from AL, and will be out more in future . See the fate of Fazlul Karim selim.

yes and also now govt is planning to import via air cargo as emergency . So I wish price will be normal fast . The difference between 1975 and 2019 is , that time Bangladesh was not a strong state , because it was just recovering from war .

But now the state mechanism is much stronger and that is supporting the govt . So I wish problems will come and solve . And in this way the imposed slur on Bangabandhu sheikh Mujib will be removed . People will know about the artificial crisis. So They will just equate it with past days crisis during Mujib .

So i call it a war against the state Bangladesh . And after recovering it , the curtain will; be unveiled , and people will be able to judge past in present days mirror .

You see the fate of Zubo league ? I think it's the reaction now . Hope govt will tackle it soon .

PS: I liked the analysis . Please take a look . https://www.banglainsider.com/politics/46960/সরকারের-বিরুদ্ধে-৫-ষড়যন্ত্র

My take is - import of onions by air is a media eyewash by AL hacks.

Each 747 aircraft (common air freighter) holds 130 some odd tons of cargo. At this rate it will take hundreds of expensive flights to import and stabilize the market.

Onion-filled aircraft will arrive in the next few days: PM

Bus, Dhaka

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said that initiatives have been taken to import onion by cargo aircraft to control the onion market. The onion will arrive in the air within the next two days.

The Prime Minister said, "We have started bringing onions by renting air cargo to avoid the problem of onion price hike." The onion will arrive by air in the next few days. ”

The Prime Minister said this while addressing the chief guest at the inauguration of the Third Quarter National Council of Bangladesh Awami Volunteer League at the historic Suhrawardy Gardens this morning.

She said the government would look into any conspiracy behind the unusual onion price rise. But I do not know why onion prices are so high in our country. "We want to see if anyone is involved in such a conspiracy," he said.

The Prime Minister said, "If anyone wants to raise onion by raising the price of two onions now, they also have to worry - the onions will also rot. The rotten onions are now trying to dry. However, why bother people? "

She strongly condemned a self-styled campaign against the country in the interest of individuals and groups, saying, "When people are good, healthy. Then there is a class they suffer from, they suffer from illness. People will consider how they can cure the disease, they will see. "

Sheikh Hasina said, “The more we move and the better the people are. An attempt is made to create an issue and not to confuse people. So we have to find out what is the main reason behind it. ”

Prime minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday had her meals cooked without onion as the essential cooking ingredient appeared to be a costly item in recent days.

“We stopped eating onion . . . all foods in my house were cooked this noon without onion,” a spokesman at Prime Minister's Office quoted her as saying.

Sheikh Hasina added that she found the foods without onion to be “very tasty and delicious” as well and thanked the cook of her residence for preparing the foods.

The prime minister’s deputy press secretary Hasan Zahid Tusher said she made the comment ahead of her departure for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport this evening.

The PM’s comments came hours after she announced at a party rally that onion’s abnormal price hike prompted the government to order its import through cargo planes to immediately contain its price.

The first consignment of onion from Egypt will be flown to Bangladesh on Tuesday, the commerce ministry said Saturday.

S Alam Group is importing the onion from Egypt, reports UNB.

On Friday, the government announced that onions are being flown from abroad on emergency basis to keep the local market stable.

The prices of onion, a common ingredient in Bangladeshi kitchen, have been on the rise since India banned its export in late September.

Various measures taken by the government could not bring down the prices which hit Tk 250 per kilogram on Friday.

The Trading Corporation of Bangladesh is importing onion from Turkey, S Alam Group from Egypt and several other companies from Afghanistan and the United Arab Emirates.

Onion consignments trapped due to cyclone ‘Bulbul’ at Teknaf landport, Chattogram seaport and some other places will reach the country shortly, the commerce ministry said.
