The Northwest storage onion season is winding down. Texas-grown fresh-run onions are available. Sufficient supplies of Mexican fresh-run onions are crossing into South Texas.

Storage Crop

• Utah-grown Markon First Crop (MFC) Onions will be depleted by end of next week
• Idaho/Oregon-grown MFC Onions will be available through early April; many suppliers will run out of onions by late March
• Washington-grown MFC Onions will ship through mid-April  
• Although yields are diminishing, pricing has eased due to increased stocks in Texas

New Crop

• Limited quantities of Texas-grown MFC Red and Yellow Onions are available; pricing is elevated
• Mexican onions are readily available; markets are flat as steady supplies are crossing into South Texas
• The Southern California desert season is still not expected to get started until the week of April 24
