After Uienhandel.com introduced tenders in the onion market for the first time last year, the organization is again issuing a tender this season. The first onion tender of 2019 relates to the ex-country period.
What is an onion tender?
When issuing an onion tender, a buyer must in any case indicate at which price level and for which specifications they wish to purchase the onions. If the offer suits a grower, he/she has the option to register for that offer. The onion grower determines the volume he/she wants to sell. All specifications are stated in the tender.
What is the advantage of a tender?
By regularly issuing tenders, onion growers have the opportunity to market their onions several times during the season. In this way they keep a grip on the market and they can spread their sales moments. You can also compare it to an onion futures market. It is without obligation. If the prices or specifications do not match, the grower will not participate in the tender.
Even if an onion grower does not participate in the tender, it is still very interesting to receive tenders. It shows the current price for which the onions are traded. This results in a transparent picture of the market.
What does this onion tender look like?
The first onion tender of the 2019 season relates to the period from land. This also includes the option of price participation.
