India Exports 500 Tonnes of Hilsa to Bangladesh Amid Supply Shortage
India has exported around 500 tonnes of hilsa fish to Bangladesh over the past two months, reversing the usual trade flow due to a reported shortage in Bangladesh this year. The fish, mainly sourced from Gujarat and shipped via Bharuch port and Howrah market, is valued in Bangladesh for its high roe content. Indian importers have also urged Bangladesh to lift its export ban on hilsa ahead of Durga Puja, highlighting longstanding trade ties and limited export allowances since 2012.
