Onion Shipping Point Prices for February 6, 2023

The stable onion prices of late-2022 are long gone and have given way to a price slide in early-2023. The chart below is slathered in red – not a positive sign. Many prices are well below last year at this time.

More varieties of Mexican onions are now shipping from Texas, but supplies are light. Colossal and sweet yellows, whites and reds are now available. Yellows and sweets are down $9 on average from 2022.

Only New York onions are still stable, but yellows are off $5 on average from a year ago.
