India imports barely one-fourth of Hilsa on delayed Bangladesh order, low availability
Hilsa fish from Bangladesh, even though the neighbouring nation had issued an order of export of 2,420 tonnes to India. This has happened as the order for fish imports came late when the availability of Hilsa comes down in Bangladesh as the monsoon retreats.
The order was issued in late September by the Bangladesh government when the Hilsa catch dwindled and the quality too suffered.
For the Hilsa lovers, which is a gastronomic delight for them, prices did not fall much as the availability was less. Prices of Hilsa which were expected to halve, have fallen by only 10-15% to ₹1700 per kg.
Syed Anwar Maqsood, secretary at the Fish Importer's Association, said, «Hilsa fish catch happens every day in Bangladesh but volume varies. In the period in which we were supposed to import, the catch was very poor. So the quantities were less.»
«It takes at least a month and a half to bring the entire quantity of Hilsa fish from Bangladesh. But the time was very short this year as the new government in Bangladesh had banned exports of Hilsa,» he said.
