Onion prices rise 60% in three months
Potato prices in the local market increased by approximately 60% between July and October 2026, due to a 25% reduction in cultivated areas and low selling prices last year, which led farmers to abandon farming and suffer significant financial losses. Additionally, the continuation of exports despite the decline in supply—especially to Arab countries like Saudi Arabia—contributed to increased demand and prices, while the exported quantities decreased by 11% in the first nine months of the year. Rising production costs, including wages, fertilizer, and chemical prices, have logically driven prices higher, and there are concerns that ongoing exports could lead to record-breaking increases in local prices.
