LAHORE: The ban on import of Indian garlic and soya bean is suspended since four months due to its poor quality and some political development between the two countries.
According to sources of Customs Today, one reason of fall in trade is the rising tension between India and Pakistan after a Pakistani military court sentenced Kulbhushan Jadhav to death on the charge of spying. This has really hit the trade between the neighbouring countries through the Attari-Wagah land route near Amritsar. Pakistani authorities could not unload dozens of trucks of garlic sent from India due to reasons mentioned above.
Sources told Customs Today that trade volume will increase in the coming days as Pakistan will start importing Indian tomatoes before Ramazan.
