Dhaka, Dec 6 — The government has decided to permit onion imports on a limited scale to keep the market stable, the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) said in a press release on Saturday.

According to the MoA, limited import permissions will be issued from Sunday (December, 7 2025) with 50 Import Permits (IPs) to be granted daily. Each IP will allow the import of up to 30 tonnes of onion.

Only those importers who applied for import permission between 1 August 2025 and the present date will be eligible to resubmit their applications. Each importer will be allowed to apply only once.

The ministry said the measure will remain in effect until further orders to help maintain stability in the onion market. - UNB
