Navi Mumbai: Retail onion prices in Mumbai Metropolitan Region have risen to Rs 60-70 per kg from Rs 40-50 last week amid reduced supplies and higher festival demand, and traders expect a further 10-15% increase after Ganpati festival.
He said high prices were likely to continue until the fresh harvest arrives in Nov. APMC Vegetable Traders Association president Balasaheb Badade said erratic weather had forced traders to sell leafy vegetables cheaply to avoid dumping unsold stock the following day, whereas other vegetable prices are within the regular slab. APMC trader Ashok Valunj attributed the supply-demand mismatch to substantial crop damage during the initial monsoon period in June and rising demand.
