Onion prices in Nepal have skyrocketed, increasing by 140 percent in the last year due to tightening supply from India. Retail prices now range from Rs110-140 per kilogram, impacting Nepali consumers. Nepal is almost entirely reliant on India for its onion imports, making it particularly vulnerable to export restrictions or supply issues in its neighboring country. The significant price hike poses a challenge to household budgets and could contribute to broader food security concerns. Experts suggest the situation may persist unless Nepal diversifies its sources of onion imports. This surge comes amid ongoing concerns about agricultural dependence and the need for stronger regional trade resilience. The Nepalese government is monitoring the situation, but immediate solutions are limited given the reliance on Indian supply.
