The State Trading Organisation (STO) will begin selling its newest onion shipment on Saturday, in an effort to reduce the current high prices for the basic commodity.

According to Miadhu, the STO said that even though the shipment was small, they would continue weekly shipments until prices stabilised.

STO also requested small stores to sell the onions at a set price. Miadhu reported that the STO would keep tabs on these stores and if they did not conform to these prices they would take action against them.
