'Worst ever scenario' for India onion growers

Onion growers in Saurashtra are refusing to harvest their crops or, in some cases, destroying them.

The action is in response to poor prices they are receiving, which is blamed on excess imports coming in from other regions.

It comes after potato farmers in Deesa took similar action.

Pravin kathiriya of Mahuva Marketing yard, said: “This is the worst ever scenario for onion grow- ers as they are not even able to recover the production cost of their crops.”
