Monir Hossain Benapole Correspondent:- Import of fruits from India through Benapole land port has been suspended. Fruit imports have been suspended due to a strike called by the Bangladesh Fresh Fruits Imports Association demanding withdrawal of additional supplementary duty on fresh fruit imports.

In the meantime, the price of fruits per kg in the market has increased by 30-40 taka due to the increase in customs duty. If import activities are suspended, there is a possibility that the fruit market will rise further in the future. According to port and business sources, a large part of the food imported from India includes apples, grapes, oranges, malta and other fresh fruits.
