The first consignment of hilsa exported from Bangladesh has arrived in India on the occasion of Durga Puja. This consignment of hilsa reached Petrapol or Haridaspur border of India through Benapole border of Jessore today Thursday. Buyers can get this hilsa in Kolkata market from tomorrow Friday.
Kolkata Fish Importers Association General Secretary Syed Anwar Maqsood told Prothom Alo this evening that the Ilish-laden truck crossed the Benapole border and entered the Haridaspur border. Now there is customs work going on. At night, this hilsa will enter the wholesale market of Howrah, Sealdah, Patipukur and Siliguri. This hilsa will be found in different markets of Kolkata tomorrow.
On September 21, the Ministry of Commerce of Bangladesh allowed the export of hilsa to India. Accordingly, 2 thousand 420 tons of hilsa will be exported this year. This hilsa will go to India till October 12. Anwar Maksud said that 30 to 40 tons of hilsa should be loaded in six trucks on Thursday. Hilsa will not come from Bangladesh on Friday. The next day, Saturday, the import will start again.
Thanking the Bangladesh government for the export of hilsa, Anwar Maqsud said that the officials of Kolkata Fish Importers Association said in an application that the period of hilsa export should not be shortened.
