A strong suspicion, almost certain, that the provisional export figures should deviate significantly from reality has been confirmed with the announcement of the export figures for week 16. The total of subsequent information for the period weeks 9 to 15 amounts to 4.679 tons. For week 14 this ultimately concerns a volume of 1.913 tonnes and for week 15 2.978 tonnes. The weekly export figure for week 15 has now risen to 16.446 tonnes.
The postal export information, together with the provisional export figures for week 16, ensures that the total volume exported this season has increased to 1.064.810 tons, which corresponds to a weekly average of 24.763 tons.
The British stand head and shoulders above other customers
The leader in week 16 was Great Britain. The British stood head and shoulders above the rest with a provisional volume of 3.422 tons and a seasonal total of 84.056 tons, an increase of 8.959 tons compared to last year.
Two African countries then predominate, namely Guinea with 2 tons and Mauritania with 1.640 tons. The latter countries purchased a total of 1.020 tons and 54.882 tons of onions respectively.{{dataviewSnapshot(56.118_2)}}
