The Government of India is considering whether to continue anti-dumping duties against exports from Bangladesh in jute products, the Indian Jute Mills Association (IJMA) said in a press statement.
“Despite the current anti-dumping duty, jute exports from Bangladesh to India, as per Government of Bangladesh statistics, have been increasing. IJMA has contended that the industry would have been completely wiped off by now, had the GOI not imposed anti-dumping duty,” the IJMA said in the statement dated May 5. The protectionist measure of anti-dumping duty to guard domestic players was first imposed in 2017.
