Onion imports from Afghanistan across the Attari border have helped arrest the upward spiral in prices seen over the past few weeks. Retail prices of the tuber have fallen and stabilised at Rs 100-110 per kilogram in the northern states as fresh harvest from Alwar in Rajasthan and consignments from across the border have boosted supply in the region.
As many as 50 trucks laden with onion crossed over to India across Attari check post and 55 trucks had brought the tuber on Monday this week. “Onion is topping the imports currently and the consignments are coming from Afghanistan,” Sukdev Singh, manager Integrated check Post, Attari told.
