Abstract: The current research was carried out in the Mewat district of the state of Haryana due to the greater area of onions being grown there. The current research concluded that the cost of production per quintal in the studied region was ₹651.22. The major cost incurred on items included rental value of land (₹19245.00), fertilizers (₹4188.81), plant protection (₹1368.26) and seed cost (₹8886.12), respectively. The average yield of onion was 118.23 quintals per acre. The average variable cost was ₹45343.00. The gross return per acre was ₹151334.40 and net return was recorded ₹74340.94 per acre. While channel-I was observed to have the greatest disposal of onion produce, channel-III was determined to be the most effective of the different marketing channels. It was shown that onion producers might increase their profits for up to six months of storage before they began to lose money. After 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months in storage, the farmer earned ₹125.89, ₹176.52, and ₹210.539 per quintal, respectively.
