Govt's Onion Purchase Price Drops Due to Bumper Crop

The government is buying onions from farmers at a much lower price this year, about half of what they paid last year.

This is because there are lots of onions being grown, which is also causing the price to go down in stores.

Government agencies buy these onions to keep in reserve and sell them when prices go up.

Last year, they sold onions at a subsidized rate when prices went up.

Now, the price of onions in stores and the rate of price increase is much lower compared to last year.
