Key onion-producing states such as Karnataka, Maharashtra, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu are witnessing the detrimental effects of unseasonal precipitation, spelling trouble for crop yields. Experts express grave concerns that El Nino’s influence could severely impact winter crops, extending beyond onions to pulses and oilseeds.

Commodity specialist Ajay Kedia underscores that the repercussions of inclement weather extend beyond onions, affecting vital crops like pulses and oilseeds essential for the common man. Maharashtra and southern states, grappling with incessant rains, may see a quarter of their onion crop destroyed.

The inevitable decline in production is poised to disrupt supply chains, potentially driving up onion prices. The ramifications are not limited to consumers; farmers and the government are likely to bear the brunt, with apprehension etched on their brows.
