Why is Onion Demand Rising?
With Holi approaching, onion consumption is increasing, leading to higher demand. However, steady market arrivals are preventing any sharp price hikes.
Why is Garlic Price Declining?
Garlic prices are falling due to high arrivals and weak demand. However, premium Ooty and Super Quality garlic varieties continue to hold strong price levels.
Onion demand is on the rise before Holi, stabilizing prices. Meanwhile, garlic prices remain under pressure due to abundant supply. In the coming days, onion prices may increase further due to festival demand, while garlic prices will depend on market arrivals.
