UPDATE: ONIONS

September 25, 2024

Fresh-run Markon First Crop (MFC) Onions continue to ship from Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Utah, and Colorado.

  • Quality is excellent
  • Markets are declining; Pacific Northwest supplies are plentiful in all colors
  • Onions have solid, globe-like shape and firm texture
    • Yellow onions have golden, cured skins
    • Red onion skins are setting nicely with a few paper layers
  • The Michigan red and yellow onion seasons are in full swing
    • The crop is dominated by small-size supplies
    • Jumbo and larger onions are scarce
  • New York growers are currently harvesting both red yellow stocks; white onions are not available
  • Healthy onion crops and strong yields are forecast for this upcoming storage season
  • Expect the market to stabilize as harvesting winds down
