All procedures have already been completed," said a press release issued by the ministry on Friday. A big shipment of onion will arrive in Bangladesh soon through the sea route, the press release added. The press release also said that the country's intelligence and law enforcement agencies are active in this regard. Due to floods in Maharashtra and other areas of India, onion yields have been greatly affected, the press release said. As an alternative, Bangladesh started importing onion from Myanmar through LC (letter of credit) and Border Trade.
