Centre to release onion buffer stock from September

The Central Government plans to release onions from its buffer stock starting in September to keep prices stable during the festive season.

This is to make sure people can buy onions at reasonable prices.

However, farmers in Nashik, who grow a lot of onions, are worried.

They think this might lower the prices they get for their onions.

They have stored onions hoping for better prices in September and October.

The government has already bought some onions to store, but not as much as they planned.

Farmers and traders will be watching to see how this affects prices and their incomes.

Exporters are also concerned because Indian onions are facing competition from cheaper onions from Pakistan and China, making it hard to sell onions abroad.
