We all know that onion is used in everyone's home and no one is unaware how expensive this onion is getting day by day. The state-owned trading company MMTC is now preparing to import onions from Turkey. 11 thousand tonnes of onions are to be imported through this import deal. The company is already importing about six thousand tonnes of onions from Egypt. The government is importing onions as part of a plan to control the unbridled price of onions in the domestic market. The decision to import 1.2 lakh tonnes of onions was approved by the cabinet last month.
