Northwest onion suppliers continue to raise prices in an effort to extend storage stocks.  Rain has slowed Mexican onion crossing into South Texas.

• Idaho/Oregon Markon First Crop (MFC) Onions will ship into April; supply typically runs into May
• Utah MFC Onion stocks will be depleted in early to mid-March (similar to recent years)
• Washington MFC Onions will begin to wind down in early April; supplies ordinarily run through May

• Limited quantities of white and yellow Mexican onions are now being shipped out of South Texas; pricing is elevated
  • Rain in the Tampico growing region this past weekend limited production; rain is also forecast for this Friday
  • Supplies are not expected to begin to ramp up until February
• MFC Texas-grown onions will enter the market in early March
• California/Imperial Valley onions are estimated to start shipping in mid-April
• The New Mexico season will begin in early June
