Shallot prices to remain stable
Coimbatore: Shallot prices will remain stable in the prevailing market price of Rs 32-35 per kilogram in the coming days, the domestic and export market intelligence cell of the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) said.
In a release on Wednesday, the cell said shallots have started to arrive from Dharapuram, Udumalpet, and Pollachi, and also from Mysuru and Kollegal from Karnataka.
“Because of the Covid-19 crisis, export is not picking up to the southeast Asian countries. Arrivals from Karnataka are expected to be normal and around late-June, arrivals from Mysuru and Chamarajpet will hit the Tamil Nadu markets,” it said.
The cell analysed historical prices that prevailed in the Dindigul market over the last 20 years and deduced that the farm gate prices of good quality shallots till the end of August will be Rs 36-Rs 38/kg. TNN
