Kurnool Market Yard Closed Due to Large Onion Crop
The Kurnool Market Yard is closing for two days because a lot of onions are coming in.
This is to help farmers sell their onions without any problems.
Because the market is full, they need to move the onions out.
Onions will be sold at another market nearby during this time.
The government is making sure onions get to different places so farmers can sell their crops and not lose money.
Farmers sold their onions at a good price and the government is helping to distribute them to help others.
Kurnool Market Yard will be closed on September 18 and 19.
The closure is due to a large arrival of onions, reaching full capacity.
Onion sales will be held at the Yemmiganur Market Yard during the closure.
Farmers are urged to bring their produce to the alternate market.
About 6,000 tonnes of onions have been purchased at Rs 1,200 per quintal.
