For God's sake, white, red, pink or whatever colour onions you produce, please pay attention to it's quality. As a consumer, I have used nearly all major markets in Islamabad (including Metro store) and failed to find onions that were not rotten at the core. Out of each purchase, I had to throw away at least 50% because they were rotten inside and smelt foul. This made the onions 400 rupees per kilo if I had to throw away half of the rotten stuff. I am surprised that other countries should be accepting this kind of onions, unless special quality is exported and we the poor people are treated like animals and fed on the trash.

I don't think that we have to export the Onion, we need to complete the demand of our country 1st, then need to export, govt wrong decision raise the Onion price of Rs. 200 per kg. Can any one answer how the daily labour can manager their daily needs. I'm really afraid about government policies in which they never realise the public demands 1st.

@Naseer ud Din Babar , Exports aren't necessarily bad, they could help inject capital in an industry that seriously needs some. Pakistani agriculture industry is undercapitalized so any growth, even export led would be good
