The central government announced the removal of the 20% export duty on onions, effective April 1, in a move to support onion farmers. Onions, a staple ingredient in both household and commercial kitchens, have seen the duty lifted just over six months after its introduction in mid-September. The government imposes export duties on certain goods to manage demand-supply dynamics and control price fluctuations. The decision aims to benefit farmers by easing export restrictions and ensuring better market access.
