There is not a bad word to say about the onion export results achieved up to and including week 37. With a provisional figure of 36.245 tonnes, it is the best week 37 ever. The total export figure now reaches 240.979 tons. This figure differs from the overview published by GroentenFruitHuis, but there is an error in that overview.
