Shipping 'grapes', selling onions: How smugglers defy export ban

By Economic Times - 9 months ago
India banned the export of onions effective December 8 to make the essential kitchen staple cheaper for domestic consumers. This has led to a crash in the price from more than ₹40 a kg to around ₹13 currently in the wholesale market of Nashik, India's main onion-growing region. The ban on exports by the second largest onion producer, which used to ship 40,000-50,000 tonnes of the commodity every week, caused a spike in international prices.
