India stops exporting potatoes and onions to Bangladesh

The Indian government has stopped exporting potatoes and onions to Bangladesh, while the West Bengal state government has announced it won't supply these products to Bangladesh. This has led to a halt in imports through the Hili land port in Dinajpur. Since November 26, no onions have been imported, though two trucks of potatoes were still processed. The price of potatoes has risen by 10 taka per kg, while onion prices remain stable. Traders are frustrated by unresolved slot booking issues and financial losses due to the halt in imports, despite having opened LCs. A meeting in Kolkata on Tuesday aims to resolve the situation, with hopes for a favorable decision.
