Government allows to export 64,400 tonnes of onion to UAE, Bangladesh

04 Mar 2024 Evaluate

The government has permitted to export 64,400 tonnes of onion to the UAE and Bangladesh through the National Cooperative Exports (NCEL). Out of 64,400 tonnes of onion, export of 50,000 tonnes of onion is permitted to Bangladesh, shipments of 14,400 tonnes were allowed to the UAE. Though onion exports are banned, the government allows specified quantities to friendly nations. The exports are allowed on the basis of permission granted by the government to other countries based on their request.

On December 8 last year, the government banned exports of onion till March 31 this year with a view to increase domestic availability and to keep prices in check.  Earlier, the Centre in October 2023 had decided to step up the sale of buffer onion stock at a subsidised rate of Rs 25 per kg in retail markets in order to provide relief to consumers.

To control prices, the government has earlier taken several steps. It had imposed a minimum export price (MEP) of $800 per tonnes on onion exports on October 28 till December 31, 2023. In August, India had imposed a 40 per cent export duty on onions up to December 31, 2023.

Between April 1, 2023 and August 4, 2023 this fiscal, 9.75 lakh tonnes of onions have been exported from the country. The top three importing countries in value terms are Bangladesh, Malaysia and the UAE.
