Does quota accelerate the sale of onions?

Based on preliminary information, approximately 42 tons of onions crossed the Dutch border in week 35.779. Subsequent information from previous export weeks appears to have increased the figure by 9.246 tonnes. Among other things, the export figure for week 32 has been increased (36.640 tons), which further strengthens the weekly record.

Quota reached quickly?
The export to Senegal is striking. About 65.000% of the set quota (40 tons) has already been delivered between week 42 and week 45; namely 29.130. If we continue at this pace, the last onions will already be delivered in week 46/47. This could also explain why things feel a bit calmer in the current market.
