Export is seen to benefit rich farmers and the question of export comes only when there is surplus!

The export market mix for onions changes from year to year, but India's onion exports cater mainly to the neighboring South East Asian countries

Onions are not so essential. But Punjabis and Delhites eat more onions. The rising onion prices led to fall of Madan Lal Khurana in Delhi. The Government has done well to stop export of onions. We should also cooperate by economic consumption of onions. Taking onion as salad can be avoided. The quantity used in vegetables can also be reduced.
