Onion Shipping Point Prices for May 17, 2021
The Idaho and Malheur County, Oregon, shipping area ran out of onions last week. And in the Columbia Basin of Washington, only four options remain available.
Those four and every other variety and size on our chart, save one, have show no fluctuation the last couple weeks. The lone exception are Lower Rio Grand Valley jumbo yellows, which are up 50 cents since May 10.
This stable price chart would be downright boring if it wasn’t for the last column, which compares a relatively calm 2021 market to 2020, when the country was immersed in uncertainty and pandemic chaos. The column is a mixture of reds and greens, reminiscent of Christmas in May.
