<h1>Government Removes 20% Export Duty on Onions from April 1 to Support Farmers and Keep Prices Affordable</h1> The government has announced the removal of the 20% export duty on onions, effective April 1, to support farmers by ensuring they receive fair prices while keeping onions affordable for consumers. This decision follows a notification from the Department of Revenue, based on input from the Department of Consumer Affairs. The export duty had been imposed since September 2024. Despite the duty, onion exports reached 11.65 lakh tonnes by mid-March of the current fiscal year. The move comes as onion prices have decreased in major growing regions due to the increased arrival of the rabi crop.
