Onion prices are bringing tears to the eyes of the consumers
all over the country, more so in Assam because of the huge difference between
the wholesale and retail prices and the State Government has totally failed to
take effective steps to control the skyrocketing prices.
Traders here have attributed a poor crop at source to the
rising onion prices in Assam and apprehend that the kitchen staple might push
the half-century mark in the state's retail market in the days to come.
Onions have yet again dealt a blow to the common man's purse
with retail prices of the commodity already pushing Rs 50-60 a kg in most
markets in Assam.
Sources said that shortage of production in some onion
producing areas of the country because of low rainfall is one of the reasons
for the short supply and price rise. Moreover, during the first half of the
year, when the prices were very low, the Government of India exported onion and
now the government is planning to import at a much higher prices to tide over
the situation.
