Onions prices in Navi Mumbai have increased by around 40% due to a lack of adequate supply to the wholesale market, with the possibility of prices soaring up to INR 100 per kg. The erratic monsoon has disrupted farming practices, leading to major losses for farmers. However, there has been some respite in tomato prices, which have decreased from INR 160-180 per kg to INR 90 per kg. The situation is expected to improve in the coming days as produce from the interiors of Maharashtra becomes available.
