New crop onion harvesting continues in the Northwest; crop size profile remains small.

• Yellow onion sizing continues to be dominated by medium onions; very few super colossals are available
• Super colossal prices are rising
• As super colossal stocks remain tight, demand is shifting to yellow colossal and jumbo sizes; these markets will also inch up
• Large onion supplies may increase once suppliers begin to ship out of storage in October
• Smaller sizes could persist throughout the Northwest season
  • From late June through mid-July, the states of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington experienced record high temperatures
  • Onions were in the latter stages of the growth process during the heatwave; the heat hindered growth
• Adequate quantities of red onions are available with sizing heavy to mediums; jumbo supplies are sufficient
