Bangladesh has insisted that it will continue to allow poultry imports to ease the shortage in the country, but will not allow imports from India because of a fresh bird flu outbreak. Despite protests from local farmers, Bangladesh approved 17 traders in December, to import day-old-chicks (DOC) and eggs worth BDT 87.2 million (USD 1.25 million), saying the import was necessary to ease the shortage and high prices. The traders earlier planned to import DOC and eggs from India. New criteria however, states that poultry imports are allowed only from countries recognised by OIE to be free from the bird flu.
