<h1>India Sets Minimum Export Price for Onions at USD 300/ton to Stabilize Domestic Markets and Protect Consumers.</h1> An Inter-ministerial Committee, chaired by the Joint Secretary of the Department of Commerce, has set a Minimum Export Price (MEP) of USD 300 per metric ton for onions. This decision, made on June 13, 2014, aims to address rising onion prices observed in major production and consumption centers and metropolitan cities since early May 2014. By imposing the MEP, the committee seeks to stabilize domestic onion prices, ensuring adequate supply within the country while balancing the interests of farmers and consumers.
