India Halts Import of Ginger from Nepal

January 24: India has halted the import of ginger from Nepal. The southern neighbor reportedly halted the import of ginger citing quality issues. This has hit the farmers and traders of Nepal hard.

Due to the unilateral decision taken by the Indian authorities at Kakarbhitta Customs Point, Nepali traders had to unload the gingers which were ready to be supplied to the Indian markets through the eastern border of Nepal.

The export of ginger was halted a day after the visit of Indian ambassador to Nepal Manjib Singh Puri to the border area. During his visit, Mechi Customs Office chief Tek Bahadur Aryal had apprised ambassador Puri about the problems faced by the customs officials in the border area. Although the ambassador was positive about other issues, he had reportedly expressed his dissatisfaction regarding the trade of ginger.

“From where does all these ginger come from?” Aryal quoted the ambassador as saying. “The ambassador also said that this amount of ginger can’t be produced in Nepal,” Aryal said.

A total of 61 trucks loaded with ginger returned from Mechi Customs Office after the obstruction in the supply to the Indian side.
