India has permitted imports of potatoes from Bhutan without any license for one more year till June 2024. Earlier, it was allowed till June 30 this year. The directorate general of foreign trade (DGFT) said ‘Import of potatoes…is allowed from Bhutan without any import license, up to June 30, 2024’. Imports of fresh or chilled potatoes stood at $1.02 million in 2022-23.
In a separate notification, the DGFT said that the import of 17,000 metric tonnes of fresh (green) areca nut without a minimum import price (MIP) condition from Bhutan will also be allowed through LCS (land customs station) Chamurchi (INCHMB). Chamurchi is a small village in the Jalpaiguri district. It is close to the Bhutan border. INCHMB is a location code. Further, in a trade notice, the directorate laid out a procedure for the allocation of quota for the export of broken rice on humanitarian and food security grounds, based on requests received from governments of other countries.
