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.

Factors Affecting Onion Prices

Season & Monsoon
Rainfall affects crop yield and arrival volumes. Post-harvest season usually brings lower prices.
Supply & Demand
Higher arrivals push prices down; lower supply or festival demand drives prices up.
Transportation
Fuel prices and road conditions affect the cost of moving produce to mandis.
Export Demand
International demand, especially from neighbouring countries, significantly impacts wholesale rates.
