First consignment of 2,000 kg Hilsa from Bangladesh arrives in Tripura ahead of Durga Puja

Tripura received its first shipment of Hilsa fish from Bangladesh. The consignment weighed 2,000 kg. More shipments are expected soon. Bangladesh approved the export of 12 tonnes of Hilsa. The price is set at 9 US dollars per kg. Importers expect higher prices due to lower production in Bangladesh. Local markets also have Hilsa from Odisha and West Bengal.
