The price of onions has surged across India, reaching Rs 5,000 per quintal in several key markets. This sharp rise in prices has become a matter of concern for both consumers and the government, especially with assembly elections approaching in several states.
Onion prices have seen a significant increase, especially in Maharashtra, a major onion-producing state. The wholesale price in regions like Hingna, Nagpur, and Mangalvedha, Solapur has reached Rs 5,000 per quintal. Other states have also witnessed similar spikes. Here's a breakdown of current onion prices in major markets:
Despite restrictions on onion exports, including a minimum export price (MEP) of $550 per tonne and a 40% export duty, onion prices are still rising domestically. One reason for this increase is the strong domestic demand and limited supply. Farmers are currently benefiting from these high prices as the demand for onions continues to outstrip the supply.
Market experts predict that onion prices will remain high, particularly in states where assembly elections are due in 2024. These states include Maharashtra, Haryana, Jammu & Kashmir, and Jharkhand. Even in other states, prices are expected to stay steady without any major decline. This is good news for onion farmers, who are likely to see significant profits this season.
With prices hovering around Rs 5,000 per quintal in many regions, onion farmers have a unique opportunity to profit from the current market conditions. However, they are advised to check local prices before selling their crops to maximize their earnings.
The ongoing price surge is an indicator of the volatile nature of the onion market, particularly during periods of heightened demand and political activity. For now, the situation remains in favor of the farmers, while consumers face the brunt of higher costs.

The rise in onion prices across India, reaching up to Rs 5,000 per quintal, is benefiting farmers but burdening consumers. With no immediate relief in sight, especially in election-bound states, farmers are advised to stay informed about local prices to maximize their profits amidst the market volatility.
