Onion Price Crisis: How to Cut Costs? | Save Big with Dried Onions | Cheaper Alternative | News9

If there’s one vegetable that unites all of India...it is Onions! It is an essential in kitchens across the country. And its prices have been skyrockletting off late. So much so that the central govt has stepped in to fix the situation. According to reports, the Centre has been buying onions at prices 74% higher than last year in Maharashtra, India's top onion-growing region. This year, the procurement rate is around Rs 29.5 per kg, up from Rs 16.93 per kg last year. Moreover, the government plans to spend Rs 1,500 crore on onions from Maharashtra alone, compared to Rs 1,200 crore last year. So, with onion prices going through the roof and our salaries remaining the same, you might be wondering - Is there a cheaper alternative to onions? What if I told you, there is! And that is dried onions. They're available online at almost a fifth of the price of fresh onions and likely even cheaper at your local grocery store. Using dried onions saves money and cooking time. Plus, no peeling needed in the sultry heat. When cooked, dried onions taste just like fresh ones. Many restaurants use them when fresh onion prices rise, so you probably haven't even noticed the difference. Here's another step that we all can follow i.e by switching to dried onions when fresh ones get too pricey, you can help lower overall demand and prices. When consumers make the switch en masse, the demand for fresh onions drops and so do the prices. Over time, wholesalers will see that hoarding onions isn't profitable if everyone is using dried ones. Of course, for raw onions in salads, dried onions can't replace the fresh ones, but that's a small part of the overall demand. It's puzzling that in a world where globalization, better transportation and food processing have reduced seasonal price fluctuations for most perishables, India's onion market remains highly volatile. Fresh onions have a shelf life of 1-3 months, while dehydrated onions in sealed packs can last at least two years. It is to be noted that while India is a major producer of dried onions, 85% of them are exported. So, next time onion prices surge, consider using dried onions. This simple switch can save you money and help stabilize the market, making onions more affordable for everyone year-round. ..............................................................................................
