The storage season for Markon First Crop (MFC) Onions has ended in Oregon and Idaho. Washington storage supplies are winding down. Fresh-run MFC Onions are available in Texas and Southern California. Prices remain elevated.

Pacific Northwest

• Limited quantities of Washington red and yellow storage onions continue to ship

• Prices are steady

Mexico (into South Texas)

• Crossings are declining with the increased availability of domestic fresh onions
