India can significantly boost onion availability and farmer income by upgrading storage and transportation.
According to Maharashtra’s Onion Policy Committee chief Pasha Patel, modern cold storage, advanced packaging, and faster logistics can preserve up to 80–90 lakh tonnes of onions annually.
Maharashtra, producing 40–45% of India’s onions, stands to gain the most — ensuring year-round supply, stable prices, higher farmer earnings, and stronger export potential.
