Initially, onion prices were very good. But at present, the onion prices have reached the rock bottom instead of getting good for the farmers due to the increase in onion income. A situation has arisen where the onion farmers of Bhavnagar district are in a state of ruin as the price of onion reaches a rock bottom.
At present, onion season is changing within Saurashtra. Due to which the onion yield and ripening farmers have to face loss. At present, due to the low prices of onions, the farmers who cook onions have come to the verge of ruin. At present, onion is sold at the price of 100 to 293 rupees. If we combine the costs of onion ripening and fertilizer seeds as well as labor and transportation, onion prices are coming down by more than 40%. If onion is sold at such a price, the farmer will become helpless and the income will also decrease.
Today, 116382 bags of red onion have been received inside the Mahuva marketing yard. Also 39198 bags of white onions have been received, but the prices are at a very low bottom. The price of red onion ranges from Rs.100 to Rs.293. If today’s prices remain, then in the coming days the farmers who are cooking onions will have to think about onion cultivation. If the government pays some attention to onions in the coming days and sells onions at subsidized prices, farmers can come out of the recession. At present, it has been seen in the market yard that onion is also running in recession in the midst of recession.
