Onion Buffer Program Reduces Price Swings, Boosts Farmer Earnings

Onion Buffer Program Reduces Price Swings, Boosts Farmer Earnings

The Indian government has a program called the Price Stabilisation Fund (PSF) that buys onions to keep prices steady.

A recent study found that this program has helped lower the price of onions in stores by a lot and has made farmers earn more money.

The government buys about 300,000 tonnes of onions every year and sells them at lower prices.

This helps people buy onions cheaper and makes sure farmers get a good price for their onions.

The program has been successful in making the market more stable and has helped many farmers and consumers.
