Imported Big Onions and Potatoes to cost more
The special commodity levy on imported big onions and potatoes was increased from August 12 and August 15 respectively.
The Finance Ministry said the special commodity levy for imported big onions was increased from Rs.10 to Rs.25 a kilo while the levy on imported potatoes was increased from Rs.5 to Rs.15 a kilo.
It said the import levy was increased to safeguard the local farmers whose produce is expected to reach the market in a week’s time. “This will help the farmers to get a fair price for their production,” the Ministry said. (LSP)
