India withdrew its ban on onion export on Monday, nearly three and a half months after imposing it abruptly which sent the commodity's price through the roof in Bangladesh.   Bangladesh will resume onion import through Dinajpur’s Hili land port on January 1 next, officials here said.   The decision was announced through a notification from India’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry.

The people are heaving a sigh of relief as the price of onion has fallen with the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) offering the item at Tk 23 per kg through e-commerce companies.
