India Importing Onions, Garlic, Dry Fruits From Afghanistan Via Attari - Wagah Border

1. India Importing Onions, Garlic, Dry Fruits From Afghanistan Via Attari - Wagah Border During the current season, India is importing onions and garlic from Afghanistan via the Integrated Check-Post (ICP) at the Attari - Wagah border. This is happening after a few years, and not only that, but the amount of dry fruits imported from the war-torn country has doubled, but their prices have remained high as the festival season in India has begun and orders for Diwali are being placed. In addition, Aloo Bukhara and Khurmani are in high demand. India Imports Vegetables And Dry Fruit According to ICP sources, after two to three years, one to two truckloads of onions have arrived in the last three days, with each truck carrying between 20 and 40 metric tonnes (20,000 to 40,000 kg per truck). Not only that, but ten to fifteen trucks of garlic arrive daily, with prices ranging from Rs 80 to Rs 140 per kg. The import of onion and garlic into India has been resumed after these crops growing in the country were damaged this season by untimely rain and hailstorms, resulting in a price increase. The majority of onions and garlic are imported by traders in Punjab and Delhi. These traders contract with Afghan traders to handle their consignments. The delivery of the consignment takes around two weeks.

2. “On a daily basis, 50 to 55 trucks are coming from Afghanistan to India,” Satish Dhyani, Manager at Land Port Authority of India at the integrated check-post (ICP), said. “Before August 15, there were about 20 trucks coming.” Anil Mehra, an Amritsar-based importer of dry fruits said that the current season's prices are on the higher side and have not decreased because Afghanistan's crop was relatively smaller last year. The import of dry fruits from Afghanistan last year was impacted by this. The import decreased by Rs 758 crore to Rs 2,219 crore during the fiscal year 2022–2023 from Rs 2,977 crore during the previous year (2021-22). While the export increased, according to data with ICP, from Rs 5 crore in 2021–22 to Rs 74.29 crore in 2022–23.
