After Centre scraps minimum export price (MEP) on onions, Mahayuti eyes recovery in north Maharashtra

The Centre has scrapped the $550 per tonne minimum export price on onions to boost exports and support farmers’ incomes ahead of Maharashtra’s assembly polls. The decision, welcomed by Mahayuti leaders, aims to regain lost markets. Calls for removing the 40% export duty continue as stakeholders seek further relief for onion growers.
