Bangladesh will export 1,200 tons of hilsa fish to India ahead of this year’s Durga Puja festival, the Ministry of Commerce has announced.

Interested exporters must apply by September 11 with hard copies of updated trade licenses, export registration certificates, tax and VAT documents, and sales agreements. The government has set a minimum export price of $12.50 per kilogram.

Notably, Bangladesh had permitted 2,420 tons of hilsa exports for Durga Puja last year—double this year’s quota. The ministry clarified that permits cannot be transferred or exceeded and warned that the government may suspend exports at any time.
