The price of the humble onion is going crazy drought followed by excessive rains have hit harvests in india one of the worlds key produces of the kitchen favorite has banned exports causing shortages across the region on young is an ingredient in several recipes across south asia and in almost every dish in india but much of the crop was destroyed during the monsoon season. Lot of time god not going to your face or your prices were 10 to 15 rupees a kilo now they are 50 rupees a kilo i cant afford that. Prices have more than tripled and use only and prices hitting consumers where it hurts most everyone here is affected. Yeah we get it all but again we have stopped serving on us to our costumers due to high prices maybe the. Indian government solution has been to place a ban on your exports as of last sunday the vegetable can no longer be sold to other countries and some believe the effort to shore up indians on supply will help. The Indian Government has done the right thing by prohibiting the export of this would reduce the price and help buyers. While the ban could change things in india it is hurting neighboring bangladesh the leading destination for india is on exports in 2018 the fact of the export restriction is already showing and ladette shes now have to queue for on eons the country has now started buying the vegetable from other countries including china. I have is following this story for us from abroad prices a story across south asia 1st of all just explain to our european viewers who may think so what. Integrity that onion is to asian cooking. You heard it there its a staple of every in new cooking across south asia so it is ok if i could put it put in an example of filmography Something Like its its not the protagonist in all the means but you know all the things that we cook but it is definitely the act of an indispensable friend for the hero so i can see it differently italians i guess and. Yeah i think its pretty close then and the politics of all this is also extremely interesting why is this causing such a nightmare for indian politicians. It is a politically sensitive vegetable because in the past it has actually been blamed for bringing down governments in 1900 the delhi State Government was voted out of power because the unimpressive had skyrocketed it was the saving 980 when the Coalition Government then was brought down and Prime MinisterIndira Gandhi was reinstated after the election so it has had some turbulent past whenever prices have gone up and thats the reason why the politicians are a bit careful especially ahead of the state elections in india but why is the crisis keep repeating itself because i mean there is no intent to find a permanent solution to it there are always these called stop gap measures and its become a vicious cycle of start because you see the prices go up because of some better very related event then the government comes and puts restrictions on exports the prices stabilize their new crop comes in the prices go down further thats when the farmer starts to get pinched they go to the government for support the government eases restrictions on exports and the prices again go up and afterward they related event again the prices go further up and thats when the cycle is repeated there is perhaps a need to break that cycle well give us the solution here our you know expert. I have looked for answers by talking to experts on this and they tell me perhaps a solution is coming up with these modern warehouses and also you can actually store a need for a longer period of time there its a parish with good so youd really need more in their houses and also the fact perhaps they could encourage the government should encourage a processing value added goods things like the hydrated onions and that could go a long way in helping the farmers as well as keeping the supply in check for the consumers so that they dont have to actually shell out a lot of a lot of money for their beloved onion.
