NASHIK: Kharif onion plantation has declined by 68% in Maharashtra's Nashik district as compared to last year.

Delayed monsoon and a fall in prices of summer onions have caused the decline. The total area under kharif onion plantation in the district was projected at 20,584 hectares (ha) but the plantation has been done on only 3,434ha (17%) so far. Last year, the area under kharif onion plantation was 11,000ha by August-end.

Speaking to TOI, an official in agriculture department said the total area under kharif and late kharif plantation in the district is 30,000ha, including 20,584ha of kharif plantation. "Kharif plantation has been delayed due to arrival of rains. The kharif plantation has been completed on 3,434ha by August 25," he said.


Nanasaheb Patil, director, National Agricultural Co-operative Marketing Federation of India Ltd (Nafed), said the monsoon was delayed by a month this year. "Moreover, there was excess production of summer crop and prices crashed. Farmers are already incurring huge losses as they are unable to recover even their production cost. They don't have money for seeds and labour charges. This has led to the drop in the area under kharif plantation," Patil said.

Last year, the area under kharif onion plantation had declined by 28% to 14,371ha due to delay in monsoon. The plantation shifted to late kharif following revival of monsoon in September. The area of late kharif, which is close to 10,000ha, increased to 51,567ha. The total area under onion plantation of kharif and late kharif had increased to 65,938ha in 2015, against 30,000ha in 2014.
