Onion farmers in Nigeria are warning of price increases for Christmas as demand rises towards the festive season while some producing states are yet to complete their harvest. The Nigerian Onion Producers Association confirms the typical spike in onion prices during the yuletide, with prices varying based on origin and freshness.
