Business Desk :
Around 370 tons of potatoes, which are waiting to be unloaded four days after being imported from India have started to rot, due to severe heat sweeping across the country.
According to the port authorities the consignments arrived at Benapole from India’s Petrapole by 16 trucks on the night of April 21.
But still no initiative has been taken to unload the goods. Due to a long delay, the potatoes have started to rot.
Rangpur Integrated Food and Beverage imported the potatoes from the export-oriented institution PepsiCo India Holdings, reports UNB. Masum Billah, representative of Transmarine Logistic Limited, said the potatoes have not been unloaded yet due to lack of necessary documents.
