The Onion mandi rate shown here is the actual market price at which farmers sold their produce today at APMC markets.

Today's Onion wholesale price in Tamil Nadu is ₹4488 per quintal at APMC mandis. This is the modal (bulk traded) wholesale rate. Retail prices in local markets are typically 10–25% higher due to transport, arhat (commission), and handling costs.
Onion prices are affected by multiple factors: seasonal arrivals (post-harvest flood of supply drives prices down), weather events like unseasonal rains or drought reducing yield, export demand from neighbouring countries, government policies like export bans or MSP procurement, and transportation costs (fuel prices).

About Onion (Pyaaz) — India's Most Price-Volatile Vegetable
India is the world's second-largest onion producer (after China), producing 25–30 million tonnes annually. Onions are one of India's most politically and economically sensitive commodities — price spikes regularly make national headlines. India exports 2–3 million tonnes per year to Bangladesh, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, UAE, and ASEAN countries.
Major producing states: Maharashtra (38% — Nashik, Pune, Solapur), Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Bihar, and Andhra Pradesh. Nashik district alone contributes 30%+ of India's onion production.
Key price drivers: Kharif onion arrives October–January, Rabi (stored) onion May–October. Storage availability, export demand, and late-season rains are the biggest price swing factors. Onion prices can triple in weeks if the monsoon damages the Kharif crop.
