Pune: National Institute working on improving shell life of onions
Pune: The National Research Centre for Onion and Garlic, Pune has been working on a project for the past three years in regards to increasing the life capacity of onions. Considering the changing weather conditions, onion prices have been spiking every year now.
To make the situation better for both the farmers and consumers, the government institute has invented a machine which increases the consumption span of onions by four months.
Speaking about it, Rajeev Kale, a scientist involved in the project and a member of the national institute said, “Considering the change in the pattern of weather and how it is now affecting the agricultural produce, we thought of designing a product that’d help farmers to store the onions for a longer duration.”
