National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED) has re-invited bids for import of 10,000 tonnes of onions from countries like Pakistan, China and Egypt. This is the second attempt of the cooperative society after it failed to receive any response in its earlier tender. The bids should be submitted before August 27 and they will be disclosed on the same day.
The onion should be supplied within 30 days from the date of confirmed purchase order. The exact supply order will be regulated in units of 500 tonnes depending upon the requirement. The supply will be delivered after custom clearance at designated NAFED warehouse in Mumbai and other major cities and state capitals.
Due to mismatch in supply and demand the prices of onion are on rise. For instance, retail prices of onion in the national capital have gone up to Rs 60 per kg. A similar trend prevails in other parts of the country. Onion prices are rising due to the fall in production and sluggish supply of stored onions, meant for meeting the demand during the lean period of July-September.
