Cyclone has destroyed the onion crop?

Cyclone Tauktae is causing havoc at this time. Now the effect of this storm is also visible on crops. Uttar Pradesh and Bihar have also seen a very bad impact of this storm. 

It is being told that due to this storm, farmers of UP and Bihar have been deeply hurt, who had sown onion crop with great expectations. Cyclone Touktae has destroyed

the onion crop. In UP and Bihar, the finished crop of onion has sunk in water. Because of this, onion is likely to rot in the fields. The farmers specially who grew vegetables were upset due to the Corona lockdown earlier and the rain has dipped their hopes. Due to unseasoned rains, onions can become expensive this year. After the onion was fully prepared, it became a victim of rain.

Relief for Maharashtra's farmers

On the other hand, Bharat Dighole, founder president of Onion Growers Association Maharashtra, said that many farmers here have taken onions out of the fields before the rains. Some people have suffered. In Karnataka, onion is slightly late till June July, so there is partial loss. But in many states where onion comes out in May, it is difficult to compensate the loss of farmers.

How much onion production takes place in India

The total production of onions in India is between 25 million 25 million to 50 million metric tons annually. Every year at least 15 million metric tons of onions are sold in the country. About 10 to 20 lakh metric tons of onion perish during storage. According to the National Horticulture Research and Development Foundation (NHRDF), Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Bihar, Gujarat and Rajasthan are its major producing states.
