# Press Release:Press Information Bureau

> A government press release says combined kharif and late kharif onion output for 2019-20 is estimated at 54.73 lakh tonnes, down from 69.91 lakh tonnes in 2018-19. Late monsoon arrival and untimely rains damaged crops and disrupted transport. India has also imposed a minimum export price and then a ban on onion exports.

## Why it matters

Onion shortfalls and export restrictions are domestic food-price issues with little direct effect on feed grain markets.
