Although Bhutan has been exporting potatoes to India for a long time now, it is not yet in the import list in India.

India’s border town—Jaigaon—has stopped importing Bhutanese potatoes.

Why?

Because Phuentsholing is declared a Covid-19 red zone, the Indian side says. But tonnes of Bhutanese potatoes were in demand in the Indian town until yesterday.

FCBL’s director for the department of corporate business, Dorji Tashi, said although the export was going smoothly despite the pandemic, sudden disruptions across the border was causing export problems.
