Onion Prices Rise in Maharashtra Amid Reduced Supplies and Limited Farmer Stocks
Onion prices have risen sharply in Maharashtra, with retail rates reaching 60-70 per kg in Mumbai and 60-65 per kg in Pune due to reduced arrivals from key growing regions like Nashik. At the Lasalgaon APMC, wholesale prices hit up to 5,100 per quintal, the highest in two years. While this price increase offers some relief to farmers, many have limited stocks after earlier low-price sales. Prices are expected to ease when onions from other states arrive in coming weeks.
