White onions have started crossing the border and shipping from South Texas. Demand is only moderate. Whites from this area did not show up on our reports until Feb. 22, 2022, but were much higher priced. 50 pound sacks of whites were $30 for jumbos and $29 for mediums. This year shows white jumbos down $14 and white mediums down $15 from last year. Reds and yellows from the area should start shipping later this week.
All varieties from Idaho & Malheur County, Oregon are down from last week except for super colossal and colossal yellows and medium reds. But even those three are down sharply from 2022. Only white mediums are up from last year.
Michigan yellows are also up from 2022, $3 on average.
