For Bengali palates, it's about fish fulfillment

Kolkata-based importers are pushing Bangladesh to lift its ban on exporting hilsa fish, a prized catch for Bengali palates. The ban has led to significant shortfalls in hilsa exports, despite permissions being granted. This is a major concern for markets, as hilsa is a key export commodity for Bangladesh, and its availability affects the country's trade balance and economy.
