Bangladesh has lifted its recent ban on hilsa fish exports to India, approving the shipment of 3,000 tonnes to meet the demand during the Durga Puja festival. The Commerce Ministry announced the decision, which comes weeks after the ban was imposed following the transition of government leadership in Bangladesh. Hilsa, considered a delicacy in both India and Bangladesh, is particularly popular during Durga Puja celebrations.
The fish, also known as Padma ilish, holds cultural significance and is a symbol of goodwill between the two nations. While Bangladesh produces around 70% of the world’s hilsa, the export had been temporarily halted to prioritize local consumption under the interim government of Muhammad Younus. However, the export has now been permitted as a gesture of friendship during the festive season, continuing the "Hilsa diplomacy" initiated by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
In past years, Bangladesh has frequently relaxed its hilsa export ban for Durga Puja, as the fish is in high demand, particularly in West Bengal, India. This latest approval follows requests from exporters and diplomatic discussions between the two countries.
