Onions – Export policy
Onions are capable of bringing down governments and we often find a shortage of them. The policy of the government is to allow export of onions only through certain agencies and subject to conditions. The ITC(HS) classification for onions in the policy was – “Onion (all varieties) including Bangalore Rose Onions and Krishnapuram Onions.” Now this is changed to ''Onion (all varieties) including Bangalore rose onions and Krishnapuram onions fresh or chilled, frozen, provisionally prepared or dried but excluding onions cut, sliced or broken in powder form.”
