Kharif Onion Cultivation Poised to Stabilize India's Onion Supply and Prices
Kharif onion production in India is important for meeting consumer demand and controlling market prices. Major onion-producing states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, and Rajasthan focus on kharif crops. While rabi season contributes most of the onion produce, kharif and late kharif crops play a significant role in filling the supply gap from October to December. South India cultivates onions three times a year, while North India mainly focuses on rabi crops. Kharif onion production should be expanded to more states to ensure a steady onion supply throughout the year.
