Dhaka proposes cattle trade at Bangladesh-India border
Reported by: `Customs Today Report August 18, 2015

DHAKA: Dhaka has proposed introduction of cattle trade at the Bangladesh-India border haats (markets), a move that is likely to face opposition from India where some of the states have banned cow slaughter.

The neighbours are yet to formally discuss the sensitive matter as cow is sacred in Hindu-dominated India.

Commerce ministry’s Additional Secretary Manoj Kumar Roy told media that they would be discussing it informally with Indian officials.

The issue, raised by Border Guard Bangladesh at a meeting on renewal of the MoU on border haat, has been approved by the commerce ministry, the finance ministry’s Bank and Financial Institutions Division, the National Board of Revenue and the Bangladesh Bank.

Roy said they were yet to listen to the foreign ministry’s take on the matter.

An estimated two million cows are smuggled into Bangladesh from India annually.

Roy said, “We’ve discussed BGB’s proposal and businessmen from both sides have pushed for it.”

“But we’re not initiating formal discussion with India now as it is a sensitive issue for them,” he said. “We’ll move ahead once both sides have concurred.”

Several Indian states have banned slaughtering of cows and hardliners forced closure of abattoirs after Narendra Modi’s conservative BJP came to power last year.

Hindus do not consider buffalos to be sacred.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh had ordered the BSF to completely stop cattle smuggling to “force Bangladeshis to give up eating beef”.

Until July, the BSF seized 90,000 cattle and caught 400 Indian and Bangladeshi smugglers, a Reuters report said.

The ban in India, world’s largest beef exporter and fifth-biggest consumer, has pushed up meat prices in Bangladesh and put the leather industry in a crunch.

It has also brought down beef prices in India and is threatening the livelihood of thousands involved with the trade.

A Times of India report in April said plugging cattle smuggling would cost India Rs 310 billion, or roughly Tk 388 billion, annually.


Roy, visiting the ‘border haats’, said local businessmen have demanded including cattle in the list of products traded in the markets.

If Bharat can export beef in middle east by millions of ton then why they are allergic to export cattle in Bangladesh? Does Feku Modi and that bald terrorist Rajnath sincerely believe that Bangladeshi people will turn automatically hindu if cattle export is banned? Bhartis should demand answer from Feku Modi.:taz::taz::taz:

Ban on cow slaughter causes shortage of beef in Bangladesh

From Our Correspondent | Tuesday, August 18, 2015

New Delhi: Ban on cow slaughter in states like Maharasthra has caused immense shortage of beef in neighbouring Bangladesh which mostly depend on cattle smuggling from India.
But now the country has come out with a novel suggestion to circumvent this grave problem albeit legally. It wants to allow sell of cattle in the border haats along the frontier with India.
About two million head of cattle are smuggled into Bangladesh annually from India. The $600 million-a-year trade has flourished over decades.
So far this year, BSF soldiers have seized nearly lakh cattle and caught 400 Indian and Bangladeshi smugglers. Bangladeshi traders estimate the industry contributed three percent to the country’s $190 billion economy.
But India might not agree to this proposal which Indian officials admit is quite sensitive.
The ruling NDA Government led by BJP will never allow such open sale which it knows will be meant for killing the cow, they admit unofficially.
Because of the stringent action against cattle smuggling the beef trade and leather industry in Bangladesh and even partially in India has been affected. The price of cows had gone up by 40 percent over the past six months because of India’s move.
The beef eating country even plans to import cows from Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar to meet domestic demand.
But Indian cows had better quality meat and raw hide and transpiration cost is much cheaper.
India is home to 300 million cattle and is the world’s largest beef (mostly buffalo meat) exporter and fifth-biggest consumer.
