Today is the seventh day of the war between iran and Israel. With this, the risk of reduction in oil supply to india has increased. In such a situation, the price of petrol and diesel is going to be affected in the coming time. india imports about 80 percent of its crude oil needs from countries like Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, Saudi Arabia. In such a situation, due to the war between iran and Israel, the risk of stopping the supply of oil from the Middle east is increasing.
Earlier dry fruits used to come to india via Pakistan
Not only oil, this conflict is also going to affect the dry fruits supplied to India. india imports dry fruits like raisins, walnuts, almonds, figs, apricots from Afghanistan. india also imports dry fruits like dates, Mamra almonds, pistachios from Iran.
Earlier afghanistan used to send dry fruits to india via Pakistan, but in recent times, amid increasing tension with Pakistan, afghanistan now sends dry fruits to india through Chabahar port of Iran. Now due to the war between iran and Israel, the supply of dry fruits has stopped. Due to this, the prices of dry fruits have increased by five to ten times in the wholesale markets of Delhi.
dry fruits were transported to india via Dubai
According to media reports, dry fruits imported from iran were mostly transported to india via Dubai. Actually, iran shares its border with afghanistan, so due to easy transportation, dry fruits are first sent from afghanistan to iran and then from here they are exported to other countries including Dubai.
Dubai is a major business center. The businessmen here have built a large number of warehouses and from here dry fruits are supplied to indian businessmen. delhi Grocery Committee General Secretary Dheeraj V. Sindhwani says, the supply of dry fruits from iran has reduced, if it is not restored soon, the prices of dry fruits may increase in the coming months..jpg)
