Indian onion farmers in Maharashtra lost money in 2025 due to government stockpiling via intermediaries, pushing prices below production cost and sparking demands for justice and reform.
Indian onion farmers in Maharashtra reported major losses in 2025 due to government market interventions, with prices as low as ₹8–₹18 per kg—below their ₹22–₹25 production cost.
The Maharashtra State Onion Growers Farmers’ Association accused the government of procuring around 300,000 tonnes via intermediaries instead of direct purchases, creating a buffer stock that suppressed prices.
Farmers claim this led to debt, mental distress, and a “planned conspiracy” benefiting middlemen.
They demand a judicial inquiry, criminal action, a legally guaranteed minimum support price, and direct subsidies, warning of nationwide protests if unmet.
