Onion Shipping Point Prices for Feb. 10, 2020

Rolls of money

Light supplies of Mexican onions passing through south Texas are showing up for the first time this year. Demand is light, and the price reflects this, with jumbos at $11 per 50 lb. sack. Those same cebollas were as high as $18 last year.

Elsewhere, the PNW saw most prices drop $1 from last week. In Idaho-Malheur, 3 of the 4 yellow prices are still ahead of last year, though. Prices from a year ago are not available in the Columbia Basin because most sheds were closed due to severe winter weather. At least we don’t have that problem this year.
