The rise in onion prices is expected to persist due to tight rabi supplies and a delay in kharif onion arrivals. This could lead to further increases in the cost of essential food items, impacting household budgets across India. Additionally, the rise in vegetable oil and LPG prices, driven by supply chain disruptions and higher energy costs, adds to the financial burden on consumers. The unseasonal weather events in Maharashtra have not only affected onion supplies but also highlight the vulnerability of agricultural production to climate variability.
