Alwar Red Onion Exports Soar to Bangladesh, Farmers Relieved by Price Surge

• Alwar's red onion demand has surged, with exports now reaching Bangladesh, bringing relief to local farmers.
• Previously, farmers faced low prices (3-8 rupees/kg) and even discarded onions due to unrecoverable costs.
• Currently, 50 trucks carrying 30 tons of red onions are exported daily from India to Bangladesh.
• Depletion of old onion stock in states like Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, coupled with Bangladesh exports, has driven prices up to 15-20 rupees/kg in Alwar.
• Traders suggest export-quality onions could fetch over 25 rupees/kg, further benefiting farmers.

Why It Matters: Increased exports to Bangladesh and depleted stock have boosted Alwar onion prices, aiding farmers.
