National Onion Centre to Empower Farmers

The Maharashtra State Onion Growers' Association is creating a National Onion Centre in Nashik.

This centre will help farmers sell onions directly to consumers, making the process fairer and more transparent.

It will also help with things like seed research, quality control, and reducing costs.

The goal is to make onion farming more stable and profitable for farmers.

The first phase of the project will cost about ₹5 crore, which will be funded by the farmers themselves.

This centre aims to give farmers more control over decisions related to onion production and trade.
