Why is onion so expensive?
Posted By on Monday 02nd August 2021
I had
written the below article last November. It is literally happening again around
the same time. The reasons are pretty much same. Infact, it has happened a
little earlier this year. Last year it was by November mid.
Main
Reason - The prolonged monsoon in onion growing districts in Maharashtra,
Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh led to widespread crop damage. It has led to the
loss of nearly a million tonne Kharif onions in Maharashtra alone.
Prices
will continue to be high until more fresh crops starts coming in by November
end.
In fact
availability itself is becoming an issue. So far "touch wood" we have
managed to source it.
I have a
question to our customers. Do you think you can manage your cooking without onions.
I know it
is such an important produce in our Indian way of cooking. I personally cannot
think of my food without it and would definitely want to have it available for
our customers. But would like to know your view.
