Why Onion prices vary across Jharkhand
Rabi onion arrives Mar–May; the kharif crop reaches mandis Oct–Dec. Local arrivals, transport distance from producing belts (Maharashtra (Lasalgaon is Asia's largest onion market), Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Gujarat) and variety mix all move the rate between mandis, which is why the range above spans ₹875 to ₹7,500.
