AGARTALA, Dec 8 (TIWN): The price of onion shot up to a whopping Rs 150 per kg in Bengaluru due to severe short supply in the market.
As a result, the most common and staple vegetable was conspicuously missing from the menu in homes and restaurants across Agratala.
India has an annual onion requirement of 150 lakh metric tonnes, with Karnataka chipping in with onion production of 20.19 lakh metric tonnes.
Almost 50 per cent of the onion production is lost after factoring in crop loss and post-harvest loss, leaving only the balance to arrive in the market.
