Onion Shipping Point Prices for August 22, 2022
Yellow onions imported from Peru started shipping from East Coast shipping points on August 9, about a week earlier than last year. On August 23, 2021, the price was $20.50 for a 40 lb. carton. This year, the price is predictably up — to $26. Southern New Mexico has run out of product, and has dropped off our chart.
The Columbia Basin, Wash. and Umatilla Basin, Ore. have added yellow colossals and whites to their shipping menu. The whites debuted $9.75 more than last year on average.
Red onions shipping from San Joaquin Valley, Calif. had a nice bump in the last week, up $2.50.
