Kano State onion producers are alerting the public to the possibility of a large increase in onion prices this year, which they attribute to the high cost of gasoline needed for irrigation equipment.
The Kano Onion producers Association secretary, Mustafa Adamu, provided insights into the difficulties that producers confront.
The rising cost of onions puts additional burden on people already facing financial difficulties.
Adamu highlighted that, in contrast to predictions of a price drop, the high cost of fuel will probably keep onion prices high, with any drop predicted to be no more than 2 percent.
The entire onion supply chain is impacted by farmers’ financial burdens stemming from their dependency on fuel for irrigation machines, which are necessary for growing onions.
Adamu remarked, “In history, there has never been an increase in onion prices like this year.”
The region’s onion producers face a special difficulty as a result of the unprecedently high spike in fuel costs, raising doubts about the supply of onions on the market due to possible shortages.
The Kano Onion Farmers Association is looking for cooperative efforts to protect the interests of farmers and customers while navigating these extraordinary hurdles.
