After the exceptionally good export figures of week 32, week 33 seems to be a bit disappointing. Still, a provisional figure of 21.035 tons of onions is not wrong at all.
Week 32 has been good for an export of 34.824 tons of onions. In total, 2017 tons have now left since the start of the 2018-104.508 season. That is more than the previous 2 years in 5 weeks: 94.421 tons in 2016 and 70.105 tons in 2015. And that while the 2016 season also started 2 weeks earlier.
Senegal buys most onions
Most onions went to Senegal in week 33, namely 7.533 tons. That's half of what was carried out the week before, when the Tabaski sacrificial feast boosted the demand for onions. However, the current figure is still a good score.
Top 5 buyers
After Senegal comes Guinea, with 1.797 tons of onions. Great Britain comes in third, with 1.641 tons. Mali and Mauritania close the top 5 with 1.513 tonnes and 1.450 tonnes respectively. For Mauritania that is more than 1.250 tons less than a week earlier.
