It's old and new what the clock strikes

We'll start with the last one, the stock. It is important to know the quality. Rumors that 5 euros had already been paid in the southwest of the country could not be confirmed. It involved a transaction of €3,50, but this allowed the quotation in Goes to rise to the level of €3. Goes' ranking this week was females the last of this season. 

Stock Location
Insiders estimate that approximately 20.000 to 30.000 tons of onions are still in storage. A market for this still needs to be found. It is also indicated that the sale of these does not have to be a waste of money, because onions from the new harvest are only available in limited quantities. In addition, not every destination can be supplied with fresh onions.

Harvest
The harvest of onion onions looks a bit like last autumn's potato harvest. Back then, many growers had to irrigate before harvesting. This is also the case in a number of places this season. This is because the dry and hard soil did not allow 'damage-free' harvesting.

The willingness of growers to supply onion sets is limited. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that many parties already have more or less a regular customer. On the other hand, this is caused by the fact that dry weather is associated with lower yields and, as a result, higher prices.

Weather
The weather is an elusive phenomenon and is an important mood factor during the growing season. However, a euphoric mood in onions seems to be held back at the moment by the end of the old season. The new season will start with some reservations regarding price developments.

Although it appears that the sale of old harvest onions is over, the weather in the coming week may still have an influence. There are weather forecasts that call for a serious amount of water, which could temporarily hinder the harvesting of onion sets. In such a case, this can still influence the sales of old harvest.
