Onion prices rebound after last week's dip
Economic Times 1 hr ago·1 Sept 2026, 7:13 pm
Onion prices have shown signs of recovery after a recent decline, with the average wholesale price in Maharashtra's Lasalgaon market stabilizing around ₹40 per kg. This uptick comes as farmers hope to recoup losses following two years of subdued pricing. However, the rally is being driven by concerns over the upcoming kharif crop and the quality of stored onions from previous seasons.
For investors, this price movement highlights the volatility of agricultural commodities, which can impact food inflation and consumer sentiment. While the government maintains that prices are cooling in other markets due to buffer stock sales, the situation remains sensitive to weather conditions and crop yields. Monitoring the kharif harvest will be crucial to understanding the future trajectory of onion prices.
