No hilsa exports from Bangladesh to India during Durga Puja, confirms Dhaka
The Bangladesh government has confirmed that no hilsa (ilish) fish will be exported to India during this year’s Durga Puja.
The decision, aimed at ensuring sufficient supply for local consumers, was announced by Farida Akhter, Adviser to the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock. She stated that the Ministry of Commerce has been instructed to enforce the ban throughout the festive season.
“We cannot allow ilish to be exported while our own people cannot buy them,” Akhter said. Ilish is an important part of Bangladesh’s culture and economy, especially during this time of the year.
Bangladesh produces 70-80% of the world’s ilish, making it a vital export product. However, the government is prioritizing local availability during the festival.
Akhter emphasized the need to protect ilish breeding grounds to ensure long-term sustainability. “Without proper management, production will suffer,” she added.
The adviser also addressed the ongoing issue of illegal ilish smuggling to India, stressing that stricter measures will be taken to stop the trade and keep the fish available in local markets.
Akhter also discussed broader challenges in Bangladesh’s fisheries sector, including the decline of native fish species in rivers and open waters.
Despite the country’s success in farmed fish production, the loss of over 300 native species due to reduced water flow and pollution remains a concern.
