Traders on strike, no onion auction at 15 Nashik APMCs

IndiaTimes Thursday, 21 September 2023
Onion traders in Nashik, India have gone on an indefinite strike, resulting in no onion auctions taking place at the district's 15 Agricultural Produce Market Committees (APMCs). The strike is in protest against the sale of onion buffer stock by two central agencies in other states. The traders are demanding that the buffer stock be sold in retail markets or via ration shops instead of APMCs, and also want the government to roll back the 40% export duty on onions. The strike is impacting farmers, who are unable to sell their produce.
