Markon First Crop (MFC) Onions are available out of storage from Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Colorado, and Washington. Elevated prices are expected through March. White onions are scarce.

Pacific Northwest

• The storage season will end in mid- to late April
• Occasional internal browning and translucency are issues in late-season onions; adequate air flow and optimal storage temperatures of 45 to 50 are essential at this time of year
• Markon recommends a seven-day lead time for orders and keeping inventories tight

Colorado

• Expect supplies to be depleted by the first week of March

Utah

• The season will end in mid-March

Canada

• The season is coming to an end
• Supplies are limited
• Pack-outs are low due to poor quality

Mexico

• Higher Mexican prices are keeping supplies from crossing into the U.S.
• There is no specific timeline for onions to cross at regular intervals
• The overall crop is 30-40% smaller than last year

Texas

• The domestic season is slated to start in mid-March; a normal crop is expected but demand will be stronger due to Mexican onion shortages
