DGFT allows 17,000 MT of Fresh Areca Nut Imports from Bhutan via Two Additional Ports Without MIP

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has permitted the import of 17,000 metric tons of fresh areca nuts from Bhutan through two additional ports without the Minimum Import Price (MIP) restriction. This relaxation aims to balance domestic supply and demand while ensuring the smooth flow of trade between India and Bhutan. The move is expected to benefit traders and importers by reducing costs and enhancing import flexibility, while also strengthening bilateral trade relations between the two countries.
