Onion Market Update: Price Trends The onion market had been anticipating a price dip by the end of October, driven by an increased planting area in key producing regions. However, recent rains in major onion-growing areas of Maharashtra have caused significant damage to the Kharif crop. This disruption could potentially lead to a price surge if the gap between the Kharif and Rabi crops widens due to further damage in November. As of October 22, 2024, the all-India average wholesale price is 6% higher compared to September’s average, reflecting the impact of these challenges. #onion #Agriculture #CommodityUpdate #MarketTrends #Agricommodity For a more comprehensive analysis and detailed insights, we invite you to explore further at www.agriwatch.com.

Inside India's Upstream Agricultural Market While visiting a small village near Sangola, Maharashtra, I witnessed how middlemen shape our local agricultural market. These intermediaries are crucial for farmers, connecting them to buyers but also adding complexity to an already tough system. Unlike the streamlined processes in the West, our markets are fragmented, and credit access is limited. During my visit, I met Sambhaji Pandhare, a hardworking farmer who shared his struggles. Despite his efforts, he often relies on middlemen who control prices and terms, limiting his profitability and efficiency. How can we enhance efficiency and support farmers like Sambhaji in this dynamic landscape? Let's discuss and explore innovative solutions for India's agricultural ecosystem.

Onion Market insight in Maharastra- Red onions, a staple in Indian cuisine, play a crucial role in Maharashtra’s agricultural landscape. During the #Rabi season, approximately 542,000 hectares were dedicated to onion cultivation, yielding an average of 20 tonnes per hectare. However, this year’s production estimate stands at around 108 tonnes, significantly lower than the previous year’s output of 105 tonnes. Among the various red onion varieties, #Bhima Raj and Bhima Red are prominent in Maharashtra. Bhima Raj, suitable for kharif and late kharif seasons, matures within 120-125 days after transplanting, yielding 25-30 tonnes per hectare. Its single-centered bulbs with thin necks make it a preferred choice for farmers. Bhima Red, recommended for both kharif and late kharif seasons, offers marketable yields of 19-21 tonnes per hectare during kharif and 48-52 tonnes per hectare during late kharif. It can be stored for up to 3 months during the rabi season. #RedOnion #Maharashtra #Agriculture #Farmers #GreenSupply #MarketAccess #FairTrade #SustainableFarming #EmpoweringFarmers #QualityProduce #Innovation #SuccessStory #RuralEntrepreneurs #AgriEcosystem #FarmToMarket #OnionFarming #EmpoweringFarmers #ValueChain #AgriSuccess
