On December 8, 2023, the government banned the export of onions to ensure adequate availability for local consumption against the backdrop of estimated lower Kharif and Rabi crops in 2023-24 compared to the previous year and increased demand in the international market.
The Indian government has eased an export ban on white onion exports from three ports. Exporters must obtain a certificate from the Horticulture Commissioner of Gujarat certifying the item and quantity of onion. The exports are allowed from Mundra Port, Pipavav Port, and Nhava Sheva/JNPT Port. The ban was imposed to increase domestic availability and control prices.
India has lifted export restrictions on nine products, including potatoes, onions, rice, wheat flour, and sugar, to the Maldives for the current fiscal year. This move, under a bilateral trade agreement, exempts these exports from any existing or future restrictions/prohibitions. The specified quantities allowed include items like potatoes, onions, rice, wheat flour, sugar, dal, stone aggregate, and river sand. This decision aims to strengthen trade ties between India and the Maldives.
