SAR-I-PUL CITY (Pajhwok): Farmers in northern Sar-i-Pul province say they grew onion on thousands of acres land but the vegetable’s price decreased by 66 percent.
The farmers complain they are unable even to meet the expenses of seed, chemical fertilizers and wages to laborers due to low price of onion.
Last year, according to them, the price of seven kilograms of onion hovered between 180 and 200 afghanis, but the same quantity was sold for 50 afghanis to 80 afghanis today.
