Wholesale prices of onions dip despite policy change - Times of India
NASHIK: The wholesale prices of onions in various agriculture produce market committees (APMCs) in Nashik district has declined in the range of 14-19% in the past two weeks even after the removal of the minimum export price (MEP) by the Centre.
The Central government on May 2 removed the MEP on onions till June-end after strong demands by farmers and traders so that exports would get a boost and demand would increase, giving farmers better prices. But, this has not worked out and wholesale onion prices in various APMCs have declined by around 19% to Rs 300-370 a quintal on Friday, against Rs 350- 421 a quintal on May 2.
"Both farmers and traders have started stocking good quality onions. The onions arriving in the market are of poor quality and this is the reason average wholesale prices have declined. On the contrary, good quality onions, which are arriving in very low quantities, are being auctioned at Rs 450 a quintal. The summer crop has a shelf life of six to eight months and hence, farmers are not in a hurry to sell their commodity and prefer stocking it. Exports are also not picking up as traders already have old orders at old rates (low rates). Hence, this situation is expected to continue till May or June-end, and exports will pick up afterwards," an official from the Lasalgaon APMC told TOI.
The average wholesale prices in Pimalgaon APMC, the second-largest onion market in the district, declined by 19.28% to Rs 340 a quintal on Friday, against Rs 421 a quintal on May 2. The minimum and maximum rates were recorded at Rs 151 and Rs 511 a quintal, respectively, on Friday. Around 12,000 quintals of onions were auctioned on Friday in Pimpalgaon APMC.
At the Yeola APMC, wholesale onion prices declined by 14.28% to Rs 300 a quintal on Friday, against Rs 350 a quintal on May 2. The minimum and maximum prices were Rs 150 and Rs 396 a quintal, respectively, on Friday. Around 2,500 quintals of onions were auctioned on Friday at Yeola.
The wholesale prices at the Nashik APMC declined by 18.75% to Rs 325 a quintal on Friday, against Rs 400 a quintal on May 2. The minimum and maximum prices were recorded at Rs 151 and Rs 450 a quintal, respectively, on Friday. Around 1,721 quintals of onions were auctioned on Friday at the Nashik APMC.
Wholesale prices at the Lasalgaon APMC, the largest onion market in Asia, were recorded at Rs 370 a quintal on Friday, against Rs 370 a quintal on May 2, with the prices remaining constant.
The minimum and maximum prices were recorded at Rs 118 and Rs 551 a quintal, respectively, on Friday. Around 20,000 quintals of onions were auctioned on Friday at the Lasalgaon APMC.
