Onion price: "Because of a bumper crop, onion is being sold at 30-50 paise per kg while only a few days ago it commanded a price of Rs 15-20 per kg in the local market," Dayaram Patidar, a farmer from Diken, said. "We are forced to throw away the crop in the garbage as we are not even recovering the money spent on transportation from fields to the mandi," Patidar said. (Image Source: Reuters)

Onion price: Every day nearly 5000 bags of onion arrive in Neemuch mandi. Today some 4,000 bags were off-loaded, but there are no buyers, Dayaram Patidar said. "We were hoping that we will get at least Rs 20-30 per kg, but at this price it is really difficult for us to survive," he said. (Image Source: Reuters)
