Government bans export of onion via land route
The federal government has banned the export of onions via land route in an attempt to stabilise prices in the domestic market, while exports of onions to India will continue through sea route.
The country's onion export has come to a virtual halt during the last one-and-a-half month owing to the devastation of large quantities of the commodity's crops in Sindh and Balochistan during the current monsoon spell of heavy and widespread rains.
