December 20th, 2010 - 10:26 pm ICT by ANINew Delhi, Dec 20 (ANI): The Government on Monday decided to suspend onion exports till January 15, 2011, in the wake of rising prices of the commodity, which is being sold at Rs 60 to 70/kg in the retail market at present.
Agriculture cooperative major National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED), a regulating agency, has been asked to stop giving fresh clearance to exporters, as the onion prices have increased in the retail markets across the country from 35 to 40 rupees a couple of days ago.
