A vegetable vendor holds onions in his hand at a market in New Delhi, India, Nov. 8, 2019. The onion prices in Indian states including capital city New Delhi have skyrocketed and price of one kilogram was sold at around 1.41 U.S. dollars (100 INR) on Thursday, dealers said. Onions which form the main ingredient of Indian meal are otherwise sold at around 29 cents (INR 20) a kilogram. Officials blame late monsoon and cyclones for impacting sowing and crop arrival from main producing centres of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, thus creating a shortage in market. Officials said the government was taking measures to control prices, including a ban on exports and imposition of a direct nationwide stock limit. (Photo by Javed Dar/Xinhua)
