Wholesale Onion Prices Fall in Nashik Amid Increased Arrivals from Southern States
Wholesale onion prices at Nashik's Lasalgaon market have declined from around ₹55 to ₹46 per kg for good-quality onions due to increased arrivals from Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, whose fresh kharif harvest began in late August. Imported onions from Egypt have also influenced prices. Despite the price drop, demand for Nashik onions remains strong in the hotel industry, limiting further declines. Exporters note higher overseas demand for the newer southern produce. Daily arrivals at Lasalgaon are about 6,000 quintals.
