The forecast for onion consumption at the farm gate in India from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent growth trend. Starting at 30.95 million metric tons in 2024, consumption is expected to increase to 35.91 million metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year growth is steady, with an average annual increase in consumption of approximately 2.35%. This growth reflects ongoing demand and possibly increased utilization of onions in both household and commercial food sectors.
In 2023, the actual consumption stood at 30.1 million metric tons. Therefore, the forecast suggests a consistent upward trajectory.
Looking ahead, key trends to monitor include changes in domestic agricultural policies, advancements in supply chain efficiency, and potential shifts in dietary habits. These factors could either bolster or hinder the growth rate of onion consumption.
