According to the farmers, while the Government, through the Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA), provided them with onion seeds, fertilisers, and other necessities for farming, they need more assistance to fight the worms that are sucking the nutrients that the onions should have been getting from their green leaves and stem.
