Largest customers
The top 3 largest buyers are Senegal, Guinea and Ivory Coast. Although these destinations purchase the most onions, because no full boats leave for Africa, the export volume is lower than in the 4 previous weeks.
Sri Lanka is just off the podium as the fourth largest buyer in week 45. Only red onions are exported to this country. The export figures of GroentenFruit Huis concern both yellow and red onions.
