Kazakhstan lifted ban on onion exports

On April 8, the Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan lifted the ban on the export of onions and introduced temporary restrictions on export volumes. This was reported by the press service of the ministry.

“On April 8 this year, by order of the Minister of Agriculture, the decree on the ban on the export of onions from the territory of Kazakhstan became invalid,” the report says.

It is noted that from April 8 to April 28, quotas were introduced for the export of 20 thousand tons of onions from the territory of the republic to third countries and the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union. Export of goods with a total volume of more than 500 tons per applicant is limited.

For reference. In January of this year, the Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan suspended the export of onions for three months in order to prevent mass exports and stabilize prices.
