Exporters have announced the resumption of onion export after prices stabilised in the country. “We will begin exporting the commodity from November 27.”According to Ahmed, the ban proved to be extremely fruitful in reducing onion prices in the local market. On the other hand, the growers claim that the government took measures to slow down the export of onion to stabilise prices in the domestic market. In India, commodity prices were never allowed to fall below certain declared rates, he said. “Duty-free import of onion continues in Pakistan and the commodity is being imported irrespective of the domestic production,” he said.
