Some vendors have raised concern that a shortage of onions from India would lead to a price hike.

Vendors told RaajjeMV that Indian suppliers are also experiencing a shortage.

This is due to less production of onions in India.

Some businesses have said that the shortage might extend to two weeks.

A kilogram of onions was previously MVR 15 to 20, but has now increased to MVR 25 to 35.
