After the government extended the Merchandise Export from India Scheme (MEIS) to onion growers, the freight-on-board (FOB) price of the Indian variety declined to $195/tonne (from $220 per tonne earlier), giving competition to the produce from China, where a good crop is seeing producers take advantage of high prices in neighbouring nations. “MEIS has made Indian onion prices competitive with that of China, thus increasing India’s export volumes in markets of far eastern countries,” said Ajit Shah, president, Onion Exporters’ Association.
