The green onion market is elevated. Supplies are limited after Hurricane Hilary passed over the Baja peninsula of Mexico.
- Strong winds, heavy rainfall, and flooding from Hurricane Hilary have greatly reduced supplies
- Some ranches in harder hit areas lost upwards of 90% of their crops
- Power remained unavailable across most of the region after the storm, delaying the packing and transfer of harvestable product into this past weekend
- Supplies will remain limited through the month of September
- Large size packs will be limited for the next two to three weeks; expect especially tight supplies of ‘longtop’ green onions during this time
- Elevated markets will persist for the next three to four weeks, at minimum
