NEW DELHI: The Centre on Saturday said it has allowed exports of 99,150 tonnes of onions, mainly sourced from Maharashtra, to six neighbouring countries despite the ban on shipments.
The Centre has also allowed exports of 2,000 tonnes of white onion cultivated, especially, for export markets in the Middle East and some European countries. On December 8, 2023, the government banned export of onions.
In an official statement, the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution said the government has “allowed export of 99,150 tonnes of onion to six neighbouring countries of Bangladesh, UAE, Bhutan, Bahrain, Mauritius and Sri Lanka”.
The export prohibition has been imposed to ensure adequate domestic availability against the backdrop of estimated lower Kharif and Rabi crops in 2023-24 compared to the previous year.
The ban was imposed amid an increase in demand in the international market, it added.
