PONDA: For the first time about eight tonnes of onions from Pakistan have arrived in the open markets of Goa. The price of onions, however, is yet to fall. On Thursday, onions in Panjim were selling for Rs 50-55 a kilo, with some vendors refusing to reduce the earlier price of Rs 60 a kilo. In Ponda, while retailers sold onions at Rs 55-60 a kilo, the Bagayatdar SKV Society sold onions at Rs 53 a kilo.
The Agricultural Produce Market Committee, Belgaum, had on Wednesday auctioned onions between Rs 3,800 per tonne- Rs 38 per kilo-and Rs 900 per tonne- Rs 9 per kilo. The average was Rs 2,000 per tonne- Rs 20 per kilo.
Onion wholesaler at the Panjim market Dayanand Amonkar said, "Those who are refusing to bring down the prices had bought onions at a higher rate; till they finish their stock it will be difficult for them to drop the price." With onion prices still high, traders have begun reducing the quantity they are ordering. Amonkar who would otherwise order about 5 tonnes of onions a day, is now content ordering just 2 tonnes. "The prices are expected to drop further and I do not want to have an expensive stock in hand, while other vendors sell at cheaper rates," he explained.
The Goa State Horticultural Corporation Ltd, meanwhile, is still selling onions at Rs 25 a kilo. "We have sold 460 tonnes since December 24, 2010, and we'll continue to sell at this rate till the government tells us otherwise," said MD Orlando Rodrigues. (TNN)
Where is Yogesh Marathe and the RSS Subash Velingkar, Velingkar must be eating the Pakistani onions now at home. Where is the freedom farter Naguesh Karmali sleeping now? You have to purify all the markets now as the Pakistani onions have dirtied the Goan soil. You bloody dog Karmali and the other freedom farters!
ReplyDeleteThe so called liberation has brought misery now it is getting us Hunger too. Goan fertile agricultural land has been destroyed by building Mega Projects for rich Ghantis and Major Highways and the Konkan railway to transport thieves. What are our rich and corrupt politicians eating now?
ReplyDeleteIf these onions are available, check on Johnads shop, there must be Karmali's, Marathe's Silvas etc in line for free supply. Freedole Farters and Eaters of free shit.
ReplyDeleteAre we heading to olden days when Paskistan use to supply all the comodities to Goa due to blockade by India ? Karmali may not be able to digest the onions.
ReplyDeleteKarmali is blind, meaning literally weeping and could not see the World outside whilst peeling off these onions. Great Freedole Farter like many others.
ReplyDeleteTo Sandesh::: I just told the Portuguese not to bother sending any Onions to Goa, as Purifying the Goan waters where the ships will dock and then leave from, will only add,further to the cost of the Onions.!!!!
ReplyDeleteSend some to Karmali and RSS with a tag "With Love From Pakistan". Karmali will love it as he is another Freedole Farter who survives on our tax and spread communalism.
