Export restrictions on all varieties of onions will be removed from January 1, 2021.

All onion varities including ‘Bangalore Rose’ and ‘Krishnapuram’ can be exported, said the notification issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade

Apart from raw onions, these varities can be exported in the form of “cut, sliced or in powder form”.

In September, the Centre had prohibited export of onions with immediate effect due to the rise in domestic prices.

Under the revised policy issued in September, export of all varieties, including ‘Bangalore Rose’ and ‘Krishnapuram’ onions, excluding cut, sliced or broken in powder form, was prohibited.

However, the government had relaxed some of the restrictions in October. IANS
