Key Company Trends

Pakistan's Onion Exporters Expecting Bumper Exports: In October 2013, The Lahore Times reported that Pakistani onion growers were expected to receive massive orders from Indian importers, given the acute shortages of the vegetable in India following storms that devastated many crops there. Some 200,000 metric tonnes of onion are expected to be exported, both to India and to other destinations, including Bangladesh, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Malaysia, given that those countries usually rely on imports of onions from India.
