Why are onions unsalable last year, and now the price is rising, and the supply is still in short supply?
Onions are very common in life and can be easily bought in the vegetable market. Onions are abundant in autumn and winter. This vegetable is resistant to storage. In the cold winter, fresh vegetables are in short supply. Onions naturally become a common dish on most family tables in winter. Onion is a relatively high-yield crop. Easy to plant and manage, less pests and diseases. This is an ideal crop. There are two reasons for the increase in onion prices this year, and the demand exceeds the supply.

1, the unsalable situation last year led to the decrease of growers this year.

However, last year, due to too many people planting onions, the output was also very large, and the export volume was very small last year, which led to a serious oversupply situation. Because the onion market was bad last year, most farmers stopped planting onions this year, and the number of onions planted nationwide was much less than last year.

2. India, a big onion exporter, suffered from natural disasters, resulting in reduced production.

Surprisingly, however, the price of onions has risen sharply this year, and there is a shortage of onions. But the areas in short supply are mainly concentrated in India, mainly because of a natural disaster in September. Onion was flooded during its growth, which eventually led to a serious decline in yield. The number of onions in India this year is pitifully small. And this place has always had the habit of exporting onions. In June 5438+10, India banned the export of onions. However, onions are still scarce in this place, and the price has soared. Now they are all luxury vegetables, and most Indians don't want to eat them.

In the face of rising onion prices in India, many netizens expressed their incomprehension. Onions are not very popular in China, because this vegetable is too spicy, mainly because the eyes are very spicy when cutting onions, which will make people cry. Because of this, many people don't like onions, and even hate onions. But in Southeast Asian countries such as India, onions are very important, even an essential vegetable for every meal, which is also related to local eating habits. Curry rice is very famous in India and is also a local specialty food. Most Indians eat curry rice every day. Onion is the main ingredient of curry rice and an indispensable food for Indians.

Domestic onion growers should be considered lucky this year. A few years ago, India's onion production accounted for about 80% of the world's total output, but this year India's gap is relatively large. Domestic onion exports have also increased, and there should be a good income.
