Will onion prices rise now that the harvest is ready?

The onion harvest in Germany is almost over. This means that the supply of onions can be measured better. There is currently not much supply that needs to be sold earlier due to poor quality.

Price levels should pick up
Yellow onions with a medium grade, sorted, delivered in Big Bags from the sorting company are traded on average for €10 per 100 kilos. Insiders expect that the price level may pick up slightly, making the onion market in Germany feel more stable. The price level of yellow onions has not changed since week 38. The red onions based on the same conditions are traded between €22 and €23 per 100 kilos.
