Initially, India had in early December 2023 prohibited the export of onions till March 2024. Later, it restricted the export until further orders.
While the restriction was on, the exports of onions were, however, allowed based on permission granted by the central government to other countries based on the request made by the countries.
Rabi onion harvested during April-June accounts for 65 per cent of India's onion production and meets the consumer's demand till the Kharif crop is harvested in October-November.
