India’s onion exports cater mainly to the neighboring South East Asian countries and some Middle East nations. Malaysia, UAE, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Singapore and Saudi Arabia account for the major share of exports from India. Indian Exports have been allowed only after domestic requirements have been met
India grows three types of onions – red, white and yellow. The bulk of the country’s exports are of the red variety. Generally only ‘A’ grade onions are exported. Grading is done manually on the basis of bulb size by trained people deployed by NAFED who are well versed with the requirements of different export markets. Occasionally ‘B’ grade onions are also exported but the market for such onion is only Dubai. Tastes and preferences of consumers vary and the Bangalore rose variety, a small variety of onion, is preferred in and exported to Singapore and Malaysia

Besides India and China, the other major onion producing countries are Turkey, Pakistan, Brazil, United States of America, Iran, Spain and Japan.
In India, major onion growing states are Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh. India produces all three varieties of onion – red, yellow and white.
