“They’re mendacity to our farmers. My query is to Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Piyush Goyal, Why do you increase the export tax? Onions get stale and if the Nationwide Agricultural Cooperative Advertising and marketing Federation of India would not purchase them instantly, farmers will likely be at a loss,” Mr Patole stated.
Not too long ago, the Central authorities imposed a 40 per cent export obligation on the kitchen staple which prompted onion farmers within the state to stage a protest in Maharashtra’s Nashik district on Monday.
