This decision, made by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs under Finance Minister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali, follows a proposal from the Commerce Ministry. The importation will be managed by the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh in collaboration with the Indian National Cooperative Export Limited, based on a government-to-government agreement. The pricing details of the onions will be finalized and announced after the Cabinet Committee on Government Purchase reviews the proposal.
