Centre to buy 2 lakh metric tonnes onion at Rs 2,410 per quintal: Fadnavis


PTI, Aug 22, 2023, 12:56 PM IST

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday said the Centre has decided to purchase two lakh metric tonnes of onion at the rate of Rs 2,410 per quintal, and expressed hope this will provide relief to producers of the key kitchen staple in the state.

He also said special procurement centres will be set up in Nashik and Ahmednagar in the state.

The announcement comes amid protests by farmers and traders against the Centre’s decision to impose 40 per cent export duty on onions to check price rise and improve supplies in the domestic market.
