onion prices: 40% duty on certain onion varieties may be rolled back

The government on August 19 imposed a 40% duty on all types of onions exported from India to tame strong bullish trend in onion prices. This caused a nearly 70% fall in onion exports, said market sources. Meanwhile, in a meeting held on Monday, traders from Nashik decided to continue their onion strike that started on September 20. This is not likely to affect the onion prices in the country.
