This initiative is part of a coexistence project with local farmers who have been struggling to receive fair prices due to the recent increase in the nationwide shipment of onions.

Recently, alongside an economic downturn, the increase in onion imports has caused supply prices to plummet, making it difficult for farmers to secure distribution channels.

Seven Eleven plans to sell the prepared onion quantity at all its stores nationwide until supplies run out.
