Why Are Prices Rising?

  1. Low Production – Weather-related issues have reduced onion and garlic production this year.
  2. Increased Demand – During winter, the consumption of onions and garlic rises, leading to higher prices.
  3. Storage and Supply Shortage – Many traders are stockpiling onions and garlic, anticipating higher prices, which is reducing supply in the market.

What’s Next? If supply does not improve, onion and garlic prices may rise even further. While farmers will benefit, consumers may have to pay higher prices. The government is monitoring the situation to control the increasing rates and ensure market stability.
