💨 Abstract

Fifteen onion farmers in Nashik, India, staged a protest atop a water tank, demanding an end to the minimum export price (MEP) on onions and higher prices due to a recent drop in the market. The protest took place at Asia's biggest wholesale onion market and was called off after state agriculture minister Manikrao Kokate promised to address the issue in the legislature.
