Price rise due to poor onion crop
Rajendra Sharma, General Secretary of Azadpur Mandi Potato Onion Merchant Association (POMA), said that the export ban is a good decision, which will put an end to the rise in onion prices. Sharma said that due to poor onion crop in South India, there is a supply shortage crisis, so the government should consider import along with ban on export. Let us know that during the festive season last year also, onion prices had skyrocketed. In other parts of the country, including Delhi, onions started selling at Rs 150 a kg and decided to import onions from abroad along with all measures including export restrictions to increase domestic supply.
