Imperial Valley, California, started moving yellow onions a week ago and are now selling yellows, whites and reds. Given the recent price of onions and inflation, the current price versus last year is unsurprisingly $9.21 higher on average.

Onions are becoming scarce from the Mexico Crossings Through South Texas shipping area, as only yellow and red jumbos remain. The yellow jumbos jumped $2.50 from April 18.

In the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas, yellow onions rebounded after falling two weeks ago. Vidalia organics are now available, opening the 2022 season at $33 for a 40 lb. sack, $6 over 2021.
