Farmers in Maharashtra witnessed a highly volatile onion market price today. In several major APMC markets, massive arrivals of thousands of tons put downward pressure on prices, pushing the minimum rates down. At the same time, in markets with lower arrivals and superior quality, onions fetched record-breaking rates, with one variety even reaching ₹4,851 per quintal!
Today’s market reflects clear trends: where supply is high, prices fell; where quality and demand were strong, prices surged. This report provides a detailed overview of onion arrivals and prices across key markets, helping farmers make informed decisions about selling their produce.
