<h1>State marketing minister orders national agri cooperative to coordinate before onion releases, warns action against price-manipulating traders</h1> A state marketing minister directed that a national agricultural cooperative must coordinate with the state government before releasing onion stocks, asserting unilateral announcements that influence market prices can harm farmers and consumers. The minister warned that market committees will monitor and act against traders who exploit such announcements, including possible license cancellations, and said the state has sought central export support to stabilise prices. A proposal for an additional export subsidy will be forwarded to the Union government to encourage exports and balance supply, and authorities signalled enforcement against practices that deliberately depress prices.
