Onion is Gold: What?!?

OMG, thats too expensive. No, but last year the price is really high too, give me your adress, so i can send you mine. The only solution for your problem now is one thing, earn more. Hang on there my friend. These too shall pass

I have not noticed anything here. We seem to have plenty of onions.

In 1998, Onion Prices drastically increased in Delhi state in India. A lot of public protests followed. The Ruling State party changed the chief minister. However, that did not help and the ruling party lost the state assembly elections held after some time. There have been some more instances of Onion price rise, and it always becomes a big political issue because Onions are consumed a lot by masses. The Government's have to resort to Onion export ban and short term Onion imports to combat this situation. Your Government should probably take similar steps although it hits Government finances for some time.

The only thing high here is eggs right now.

Wow! That's way too much! I'm sure most people just refuse to buy them. Pretty and I use onions in almost everything we cook. Can you order onions cheaper from Amazon?

There seems to be plenty of onions in our shops at the moment. If you need onions, there isn't much that can take their place.

That is undoubtedly the case, and hoarding appears to be taking place to keep the price under check. We are all but confused about who can lower the pricing because importers are also attempting to influence because they can cut prices. Farmers are pleading with people not to import so they can survive, but they are unable to meet demand because buyers are trying to hoard in order to make a shortage and drive up the price.

Oh wow that is really unfortunate. My husband and I would be so upset if they cost a lot here because we use them to cook so often. Eggs are what are extremely expensive here right now.

It made the news in the USA!

No, we don’t share the same onion situation. 1 kilo of onions here is 1€ plus only. I wouldn’t buy those expensive onions if I was there in Pinas.

Every year we have price rise in onion for few days but then it is brought under control soon. We had onion crisis and sky rocketing onion prices in 1998. And that caused a lot of protest and criticism for the government then. It lasted for few months and then few government rules and policies brought it under control.

Everything is going up in price here. Crazy for sure.

it is very expensive. here the price of onions is not that expensive, let alone buying directly from farmers the price can be negotiated again if you buy a lot.

that sounds very expensive, here the price of onions is still quite normal, only the price of chilies is increasing because of the rainy weather

Here onions are inexpensive although perhaps some are imported from India or Australia.

Did you try those tips?

Onion are among the cheapest vegetables. I bought last Friday at the supermarket and I paid $1.20 for 1.5 KG.

No, they are too expensive. Here in my city onion prices go down in winter.

There is increase in all prices here too .yeah there is no dish without using onion .

I use a lot of onions, they add flavor to so many dishes. I also chop and freeze some in small ziplocks. They have gone up in price here but not as bad as potatoes and we won't even talk about how much lettuce is now (ridiculous!).
