Growers’ body seeks 25, says they are unable to recover production costs

Maharashtra farmers, led by the State Onion Growers’ Association, have threatened to stop bringing onion to the agricultural produce marketing committee (APMC) yards from August 16, if they don’t get an average price of 25 per kg for their produce.

Maharashtra State Onion Growers’ Association President Bharat Dighole said in a statement on Monday: “For the past 7-8 months onion growers are receiving a meagre payment for their produce and have suffered huge losses. The Union and State governments have ignored the woes of onion growers. They have instead, taken steps to bring down the onion rates.”

Growers have alleged that the Centre’s policy to keep onion prices under control by imposing a ban on exports, importing onion, raiding onion traders, and limiting the storage has harmed farmers. 

Falling on deaf ears?

“Now farmers are selling at a very low price and are unable to even recover production costs.  MLAs, MPs, and Ministers have not takenany concrete steps, to help the farmers. Hence, farmers are agitated. From August 16, farmers must get an average of 25 per kg at the APMC auctions or else Maharashtra onion farmers will stop selling their produce at APMC auctions for an indefinite period,” said Dighole.
