Storage crop Markon First Crop (MFC) Onions are available from Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Colorado, and Washington. Markets are steady. Red and yellow supplies are sufficient, but white onions remain limited.

Pacific Northwest

• The storage season will effectively end in late April, with some supplies to ship into early May
• Quality ranges from good to fair; internal browning, double-heart, and translucency are occasional issues
• Expect steady markets over the next two weeks

Colorado

• Supply levels will be depleted by mid- to late March
• Quality ranges from good to fair
• Prices should remain stable over the next two weeks

Utah

• Storage supplies will be depleted by the third week of March
• Quality ranges from good to fair; translucency and bruising are occasional issues
• Expect steady markets over the next two weeks

Mexico

• Early season Mexican onions are crossing into South Texas
  • Shipments consist primarily of yellows and whites
  • Red volume is low
• Initial reports of fresh-run Mexican onions indicate subpar quality as compared to Northwestern storage supplies; green cast, soft texture, and thin skins are to be expected
• Early quotes are higher than domestic red and yellow storage supplies, but comparable to white onions

Texas

• The Texas fresh-run yellow onion season will start next week, in a limited manner
• Texas-grown red and white fresh crop onions will hit the market in early March
