Looks like we will still get the onions... but with a "pinch of salt" through the ocean route... proves how desperate the govt really is.

India asks Pak to allow onion exports via land route
India has initiated talks with Pakistan seeking resumption of onion exports from that country through the land route of Wagah border.

“We have initiated talks and before not too long we are hopeful that we will find solution to this...,” External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna told reporters in New Delhi on Friday.

The Ministry has also requested Pakistan government to allow export of onions in bulk through rail and ship routes, sources said.

Commerce Secretary Rahul Khullar had on Thursday said that a contract has been entered into for Pakistani onion supply at Mundra port at Gujarat.

However, if the supplies have to be diverted from Wagah border for arrival through ship routes, it would take at least few more days to reach India.

Pakistan imposed a ban on export of onions through the land route on Thursday after 300 India-bound trucks loaded with about 3,000 tonnes of the commodity had reached the Wagah border near Amritsar.

An official spokesperson said in New Delhi that the government is trying to resolve the issue with Pakistan. “Government is working on it,” she said.

Prices of this vegetable have shot up by Rs. 5-10 per kg since Thursday after Pakistan put a curb on onion movement through land route.

Meanwhile, a report from Lahore said that Pakistani traders have expressed disappointment over the decision of their government to put these restrictions.

“Such decisions hamper trade between the two countries and cause wastage of perishable goods. This is in the interest of neither the government nor traders and consumers,” said Iftikhar Ali Malik, vice-president of the SAARC Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The traders demanded that the customs authorities at the Wagah land border clear contracted consignments of 300 trucks.

Before the federal Pakistani government imposed the ban, several traders had bagged major orders from India.

Some people here are barking without any reason Pakistan banned onion export from land route (wagha border) to control rising prices in domestic markets. Good thing is Indian traders have booked orders of 1000 tonnes of onion from Pakistan through sea routes.

Amritser traders are mad we have no crises of tomatoes, they did this stupid act for media coverage indians traders already booked 1000tons onions from sea route they will be reaching mumbai very soon so good news for mumbaiokers.

Food is a worldly pleasure for some and its their affair to find the steady supply of it.

This has adverse effect on meat prices too.. Already the prices of meat (chicken,beef, mutton) has started to fluctuate..

 

[doctor_who]

eggs have gone up to 50 indian rupees a dozen,

the shortage of onion is there but its not so big a issue - its majourly the market hoax which made trader rise the price,

the main problem is in india- if u see lack of tomato one yr - next year all farmer grow tomato - now you have tomato but no onion.

This is stupid ....
i believe that Pakistan blocked onions via land route to stop escalating domestic prices......and also it was allowedto be imported via sea (that part is weird ...did not figure out wat difference it made)
while had these vegetables been stopped becuse of escalating prices it could be understood...

seriously ...
ppl need to grow up!!!!!!!
