The supply had been halted briefly due to India’s imposition of a 40 per cent export tax on onions

Nepalese traders have resumed importing onions from India to meet the high demand for the vegetable during the upcoming festival season. The supply had been halted briefly due to India’s imposition of a 40 per cent export tax on onions, which is in effect until December 31.

 India is the world’s largest exporter of onions, and the tax was put in place to limit overseas sales and prevent a potential price increase. The new tariff had a significant impact on Nepal, as traders in the Kalimati Fruit and Vegetable Market, the country’s largest wholesale market for agricultural products, reported a sudden shortage of onions. Nepal relies on India for 99 per cent of its onion supply.

The agreement will reduce Supply and Price volatility and ensure stable long-term supply of Potassic fertiliser to India

India’s fertiliser companies- Coromandel International, Chambal Fertilisers and Indian Potash Limited signed an MoU with Canpotex, Canada. The MoU was presented to Dr Mansukh Mandaviya, Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers . Canpotex, Canada is amongst the largest suppliers of Potash globally, exporting around 130 LMT of product annually.

“The MOU will reduce both supply and price volatility and ensure stable long-term supply of Potassic fertiliser to India. Government of India has been encouraging the domestic fertiliser industry for establishing supply linkages through long term partnerships with resource rich nations. Given India’s high dependence on imports of raw material and fertiliser minerals, these partnerships provide secured availability of fertilisers and raw materials over a period of time and also offer price stability in volatile market conditions. This supply partnership is expected to improve the fertiliser availability within the country and reduce supply side and price vulnerabilities”. Said Dr Mansukh Mandaviya. 

Dr Mandaviya stated that “This is a significant initiative as it will improve the availability of MOP for the farming community, uphold their welfare and contribute towards ensuring food security in the country”. 

He added that this MOU will lead to “strengthening of our mutual relationship and furthering bilateral relations between the two countries”.

Despite adverse conditions, sales activities continue to grow across US Pacific Coast 

Bee Vectoring Technologies International has announced positive progress in 2022 sales commitments from US growers. In just seven months into the fiscal year, the company has invoiced growers in the Southeast region and secured commitments in the Northeast, Midwest, and Pacific Northwest – already increasing total sales year-over-year by 18 per cent.

“We’ve already increased sales year-over-year and are committed to growing them even further before each region’s blooming period,” said Ian Collinson, Sales Manager, BVT. “This includes activity for additional acres that our Pacific Coast sales team is working aggressively to secure. This region is responsible for the production of one-third of all blueberries grown in the US and we are in active discussions with some of the USA’s largest berry growers. This, in the long run, represents a bigger opportunity for us compared to the Southeast.”

These positive results have been accomplished despite a very difficult farming environment in most regions. Volatile supply costs have seen fertiliser prices double over last year in several cases, and prices of fuel and other chemical products necessary to run farming operations have increased by up to 40 per cent.

 “Farmers are being squeezed harder than ever and they have had to make tough choices on which products to invest in to help their crops thrive this year,” said Ashish Malik, CEO, BVT. “Already achieving year-over-year sales increases for BVT, with several months still to go, is a testament to the strength and efficacy of our natural precision agriculture system and proprietary Clonostachys rosea CR-7 (CR-7) biological fungicide.”

Furthermore, in Georgia, the company’s largest market last year, growers faced severe weather and hard freezes during the blueberry bloom period and this has had an impact on BVT sales as several growers have unfortunately experienced a partial or complete crop loss.

Despite adverse conditions, sales activities continue to
