The Indian government has decided to allow the export of onions to Bangladesh, Mauritius, Bahrain, and Bhutan. This move marks the lifting of a ban on onion exports to these countries, which was imposed in September 2019. The ban was initially put in place to curb rising onion prices in the domestic market and to stabilize the supply-demand situation. The move is expected to benefit onion farmers, as it will open up new markets for their produce.
