Onions – Export Banned - Import Duty Exempted
ONIONS bring tears to the eyes of not only housewives, but politicians too. A government can be unseated on the issue of price of onions. As onion price has already hit the century mark while it is less than Rs. 15 in neighbouring Pakistan, the Government is in serious trouble. It is understood that in an emergency damage control exercise, Government has exempted onions and shallots from import duty and also banned export of onions.
