The Dambulla Economic Center states that local and imported Big Onion prices have been increased.
The wholesale price of a local and imported kilo of Big Onions has increased to Rs. 400 and Rs. 370 respectively.
Accordingly, the retail price of an Onion kilo has increased to Rs. 600.
With Big Onion imports being curbed of late, prices of local Big Onions have also increased.
However, sources in the Economic Center say that businessmen who had purchased local Big Onion stocks at a low price in the past days, are now concealing stocks and releasing them at a higher price.
