· Business · NDTV
India has exported 500 tonnes of hilsa fish to Bangladesh in a rare reverse trade flow driven by lower domestic production in Bangladesh this year. Bangladeshi fish traders turned to Indian markets to meet high consumer demand for the popular fish. Traditionally, Bangladesh is the primary exporter of hilsa to India, particularly during the festive season. The current shipment highlights a significant shift in regional supply patterns due to reduced catch yields in Bangladeshi rivers. Officials have not yet disclosed the exact financial value of this export consignment.
Why it matters
