Edible oil export to India faces obstacle

Says the losers who won a war first time in 1971 with the help of our Muktis. Muktis had helped the IA troops from wetting their pants at the site of PA troops by fighting a frontal war. Even with the Mukti presence, the coward losers were reluctant to fight and were trying to run away from the battlefields at every opportunity. You better ask your older troops.

Laughable delusions of the effeminate bunch... Who got themselves slaughtered in millions.

So much for your false bravado.

Time is ripe to set some of our own conditions about investment standards in our territory. Our turf, our rules

Implement it, what's stopping you ?

Yes, but it is laughable to know that only 1,300 very brave IA troops were killed in the month-long fighting that we fought to give you the first ever win. Why do not you show your gratefulness?

Gratefulness for what ?

Bangladesh exists only because of India. Have a good cry about it.

I suggest that all patriot Bangladeshis boycott Adani Wilmar Indian re-packaged edible oil products in Bangladesh. Their 'manufacturing' operation in Bangladesh is nothing but re-packaging from bulk to retail packages and adds nothing to local value-addition or wages.

BOYCOTT THESE INDIAN PRODUCTS TODAY

LOL, why don't you actually start a boycott program instead of blowing hot air here?

Or you afraid BD public will file it under the "continue imports from Bajaj no matter what Dada does to us at border" file?

Yes, but it is laughable to know that only 1,300 very brave IA troops were killed in the month-long fighting that we fought to give you the first ever win. Why do not you show your gratefulness?

Don't put your mukti lousy performance on us. If we lost 1 guy for every 100 or 1000 you used up for same thing (And didn't even accomplish results in the end often), why are you criticizing us? We value our men that much more and train and equip them that much more. They are not emotional crazy illiterates like typical BD swamp ppl.

Just remember there is a reason why not one BD person was allowed to sign on the surrender document itself. Pawns dont get to sign squat....they are good at getting high ratio casualties.....and accepting paintings commemorating such events later though....whatever it takes to believe in 3 million feelz I guess.

Edible oil export to India faces obstacle
Consignments halted by West Bengal customs for over a week
Saturday, October 6, 2018

Kazi Zahidul Hasan :

Bangladesh's merchandise export to India continues to face a range of non-tariff barriers (NTBs) despite the latter's repeated assurance to ease these bottlenecks.
In the latest edition of NTB measure, the Indian Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has halted Bangladeshi consignments of edible oil in the West Bengal's different land customs stations (LCS), creating fresh mistrust among local traders.
These consignments originated from Bangladesh's gigantic edible oil refiners-- Meghna and City Group of Industries, insiders said.
India earlier slapped an anti-dumping duty ranging from $19 to $352 per ton on jute yarn/twine, hessian fabric and jute sacking bags brought from Bangladesh and it led to a drastic fall of jute and jute goods export to India.
Unnerved by the fresh trade barrier, local exporters urged the authorities to take immediate steps to resolve the trade barrier in the course of meaningful negotiation in diplomatic channels.
They earlier claimed that they face various non-tariff barriers such as delays, bureaucratic red-tape, customs harassment and visa problems while trading with India, which increases the business cost and hampers smooth bilateral trade relations.
"Our edible oil shipments have been halted for more than a week at several LCS in West Bengal forcing us to count huge demurrage.

The West Bengal Customs Department came up with the measure following a DRI order," Mostafa Kamal, Chairman and Managing Director of Meghna Group of Industries, told The New Nation on Friday.
Frustrated by the DRI's move, Mostafa Kamal said that India earlier imposed anti-dumping duties on Bangladesh's jute products and thus seriously affected jute industries. Now they imposed fresh barriers on edible oil export when local refiners eyed for Northeast Indian markets taking advantage of duty-free market access facility.
"Edible oil export to India has been made duty-free under SAFTA agreement. So, any restriction while taking the product into the Indian market is a violation SAFTA rule," he said.
India is the second largest trade partner for Bangladesh after China and the two-way trade between the two countries touched US$ 9.49 billion in the fiscal year 2017-18 with trade balance (US$7.7 billion) is heavily tilted towards India.
Mostafa Kamal said when the situation prevails in bilateral trade; India imposes fresh NTB on a non-traditional Bangladeshi export item that has little exposure in Indian market. Such an initiative will definitely harm Bangladesh-India trade relations.
In a letter on September 25, the DRI has directed Kolkata Commissioner of Customs (Preventive) not to release edible oil consignments originated from Bangladesh, citing Bangladeshi exporters sent them breaching SAFTA rules and it is thereby inviting huge revenue losses for India.
It also asked the Kolkata customs authorities not to allow the Bangladeshi consignments enter into Indian territory prior to issuance of no objection certificate by DRI.
"DRI has raised the SAFTA rules while blocking the consignments. Their objection is irrational and non-informative," said Mostafa Kamal, claiming, "Local refiners made the shipments in compliance with value addition rules as stated in SAFTA."
Replying to a question, he said, "We have already informed the matter to Indian embassy through official channel. We're waiting for their action to release the stalled consignments."
Indian annual consumption of edible oil is about 22-25 million tons and 60 per cent of the consumption is met from import.
When asked, a senior commerce ministry official said that Dhaka has already communicated with Delhi through diplomatic channel and the issue is expected to resolve soon.
The official also said that Bangladesh and India are maintaining an excellent bilateral relations and efforts are being made to take to a new height.
"Bangladesh has raised the issue of non-tariff barriers in the last week's commerce ministry level meeting. Delhi assured Dhaka of resolving the existing trade barriers," he added.

We Import lot of It from Indonesia/Malaysia, if you have competitive prices.

I am sure the prices are very competitive and certainly so compared to Indonesian/Malaysian product. No wonder Indian producers are so worried and trying to block Bangladeshi product.

India has been bullying Bangladesh since its conception. This is why it killed our two leaders, Mujib and Zia so that this country cannot stand erect. After continuously doing all the heavy things it is now after our export of edible oil. We understand that Indian oil suffers because of its own low quality.

But, it is the age of free trade. India should provide comparible data of our oil and its own domestic oil to prove BD oil is inferior to Indian ones.

Please stand up to the bully then. Instead you follow instructions meekly to the T like when we ask you not to accept envoy of certain other country .

The problem lies with yourself first, man up and grow a spine!

Such a meek effeminate beggar has no business asking for "data" from his master....especially when it is proven already this beggar is incapable of exporting its edible oil to any other country (similar standards w.r.t open competition). If others are lining up to import BD edible oil, you have a point....but no one is....and you want your Dada master to make some LDC-slave exception for you like you survive on for RMG with others. Not happening! Now get neatly in an ordered line to buy your Bajaj's and simple X-rays from Indian hospitals ...the price we dictate for providing you "liberation" is nowhere near completed.
