The rains have also damaged onions in states like Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. The rain did another damage. Water has gotten into the onion stored in the warehouse. As a result, the onion also rotted.

Jayant Ghosh is a large onion trader in Calcutta. He told Deutsche Welle: “There is a lot of demand for onions in the market, but the supply is low.

Delhi-based onion seller Binit also said the market demand for onions is high and the supply is low. This story has been going on since last May. He told Deutsche Welle: “After Mararashtra, there are states like Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh in onion production. Crops have been damaged by the rains there. The next harvest will be in November. That is why onions are so expensive ”. Onions are sold today in Delhi at a price of Rs 45-50 per kg.
But why the sudden decision to stop the export of onions? According to government sources, an internal report from the Ministry of Agriculture said that if exports had continued, the price of onion would have risen to Rs 60-80 in one or two months. The central government did not wait after receiving this report. The Bihar elections are ahead. At that time, if the price were Rs 60 per kg, the peeled onion would leave the BJP-JDU alliance crying. The BJP had to lose power in Delhi after the onion price rose to Rs 100 per kg. Sheila Dikshit of Congress ruled Delhi for 15 years and Arvind Kejriwal for about six years. The BJP could not return. The leaders of the Delhi BJP are realizing how much onion can cry. So, with Bihar in mind, the Modi government will import onions if necessary to keep the price low, but will not allow the price to go up.

The use of onion or garlic is not common among many groups in India. But they use hing to add flavor, which, when mixed with it, gives the exact garlic flavor to legumes or vegetables. This hing is used in the cooking of various popular dishes in Rajasthan or Uttar Pradesh.
Veteran business reporter Joseph Deutsche Welle told IWPR: If it was the normal time, this decision might not have been made now. We would have waited a little longer. “
But was there no other way than to impose an export ban? Jayant Roy Chowdhury, trade editor of the New Indian Express, told Deutsche Welle: “The government should have left the onion market in the hands of the state agricultural marketing agency NAFED. At the same time, take action against the onion stockists. Only then would the onions reach the market. The price would have been lower. Instead, they decided to stop exporting in an easy way. “
Maharashtra leaders are outraged by this decision. “The sudden decision to stop exports is a huge blow to India’s image,” tweeted Sharad Pawar, a former agriculture minister who is widely recognized for his knowledge of agriculture across the country. “India’s image as an onion exporter in the international market has been tarnished,” Power said. “The government’s decision will benefit Pakistan.” Pakistan exports large quantities of onions.
Farmer leader Raju Shetty has been blocking roads in Maharashtra since Tuesday in protest at the decision to stop onion exports. Veteran Maharashtra Times journalist Sunil Chao told Deutsche Welle: “If exports are stopped, farmers will suffer. They could export at a higher price. Now we have to give away onions in the country market at low prices. That is why Raju Shetty is always against stopping exports.
Earlier, during her visit to India, the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, requested: “If you stop exporting onions, please let us know in advance.” Otherwise, Bangladesh has many problems. The government can take some action in advance if it knows ahead of time.
But suddenly India decided to stop exporting. Sheikh Hasina probably didn’t get a chance to act early either.
