In an effort to diminish its dependence on India for crucial food imports, Bangladesh is evaluating alternative sources for onions and potatoes, including the possibility of procuring these commodities from Pakistan. In light of escalating prices in India and strained diplomatic relations, Bangladesh is seeking to stabilize its food supply chain. Historically, India has served as the predominant supplier of these items; however, recent price increases have compelled Bangladesh to investigate options from countries such as China, Turkey, and Egypt. The Bangladesh Trade and Tariff Commission is proactively engaging with suppliers to diversify import sources, with the aim of alleviating market pressures and ensuring a consistent supply.
