Kathmandu, Nov 24: Nepali ginger traders are at the receiving end after the Indian government imposed restriction on the export of this high-value agricultural produce to India from Nepal.
India banned the import of ginger from Nepal citing the use of the pesticide with the brand name ‘Aldae carb’.
Nepal Ginger Producers and Traders Association president Narendra Khadka shared this at a press conference the association held here today. He said a test on the ginger produced in Nepal conducted at the food test laboratory in Bangalore, India confirmed that the said pesticide had not been used. The test was carried out at the behest of the association, according to him.
The association stated that the Nepali ginger traders are hit hard due to the difficulties arising from the cumbersome process adopted by the Indian administration in the export of ginger, the exorbitant quarantine fees and double taxation. The association has urged the government to address these problems. RSS
