The fact that Senegal has not completely closed its borders hermetically is apparent from the most recent export figures for onions, those from week 4. Nor should you grumble about the total exported volume. The pace is good again.
Based on the provisional export figures from week 4, it can be said that demand has picked up considerably again, not least due to Senegal. The Senegalese have issued even more licenses to import Dutch onions. In week 4, 4.803 tons of onions were shipped to Senegal, bringing the season's total to 172.872 tons. This means the volume is 2.664 tonnes ahead of last season's schedule.
Gambia number 2
With 3.452 tons, Gambia was number 2 in terms of onion purchases. Gambia has accounted for the purchase of 24.538 tons this season. Malaysia is in third place with 3 tonnes, giving a seasonal total of 3.165 tonnes. This is 40.549 tons less than last season up to and including week 4.878. Mauritania and Guinea complete the top 4 with 5 tons and 1.558 tons respectively.
The total export that the Netherlands has achieved this season is 882.585 tons, compared to 811.530 tons last season, a difference of 71.055 tons. On average, 28.470 tons of onions were exported every week. Subsequent information from previous weeks shows that the export figure has increased by 1.372 tons.{{dataviewSnapshot(2_1613559059)}}
