Onion farmers in Lasalgaon threaten agitation over jute bags

摘要

Simmering resentment among onion farmers in Nashik, who are being forced to sell their produce in jute bags, took a violent turn with the farmers allegedly attacking the office of the chairman of the Lasalgaon agriculture produce market committee (APMC). Onion arrivals have taken a beating with arrivals dropping to barely 2,000-odd quintals on a daily basis since the market has reopened, after a gap of 17 days.
