Amid the prices of onion hitting the roof, reaching up to Rs 100 a kilo in several cities, Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution said on Tuesday said another 840 MT of onion from the Government’s price stabilisation buffer had arrived in Delhi.
The availability of onion in the domestic market is comfortable, notwithstanding the marginally lower production of onion in the rabi-2024 season compared to last year's production, the Ministry of Food said.
“With a fast change in the lifestyle of people, the food processing sector is poised for a dynamic transition. In this backdrop, with the concerted efforts of the state government and the industry, the 2.8 per cent of total fruits and vegetables which is produced at present, can be substantially increased.”
