Government procures 20,000 tonnes of onion from farmers for buffer stock

30 May 2016 Evaluate

The Centre has procured 20,000 tonnes of onion from farmers in order to create a buffer stock to be utilized for market intervention in the event of price rise during a lean season, as per information provided by Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan. This procurement of 20,000 tonnes of onion is higher than the set target by the government.

The government had last year procured 8,000 tonnes of onion but it was done after the retail prices had gone through the roof to about Rs 80-90 per kg. This year, the government has decided to buy on time and set a target to procure 15,000 tonnes of onion from the rabi crop of the 2015-16 crop year (July-June).

Onion production is estimated to be increased to 20.33 million tonnes (MT) in 2015-16 from 18.92 MT in the previous year. The retail onion prices are currently ruling at Rs 15-25 per kg.
