Onion auctions, suspended by traders in protest against the increase in the export duty on the kitchen staple, resumed in nearly all agriculture produce market committees (APMCs) of Maharashtra’s Nashik district after 13 days.
As many as 545 vehicles arrived at Lasalgaon APMC, Asia›s biggest wholesale onion market, on Tuesday morning, market sources said. The prices of onions were at Rs 1,000 per quintal minimum, Rs 2,541 per quintal maximum and Rs 2,100 per quintal average in the opening session, they said.
