December 1, 2022

    • Yellow onions have golden, cured skins
    • Red onion skins have set nicely with occasional papery layers
  • Current demand has eased after the Thanksgiving holiday week; however, markets remain firm
  • Expect steady pricing through December followed by an increase after the New Year as suppliers assess remaining volume

  • California/Imperial Valley onions are estimated to start shipping in late April
  • The New Mexico season is forecast to begin in early June
