The latest export figure for onions, that of week 47, once again shows an export figure of well over 30.000 tons. And that for the twelfth week in a row. What does this do to the total export figure for this season?
The export figure for week 47 is also well above 30.000 tonnes, based on preliminary information. Since week 36, the export figure has not been below 30.000 tons. Over the period week 36 to week 47, 445.675 tons of onions were exported. That is 72% of the total export volume of this season so far.
The provisional export result of week 47, 34.760 tons, was partly shaped by the fact that Senegal imported 5.271 tons of Dutch onions, thus raising the imported result to 114.383 tons. The result of Ivory Coast is hardly surprising, which came in second place with a decrease of 4.682 tons, good for a seasonal decrease of 102.284 tons.
The third buyer in size, both in week 47 and cumulatively, is Great Britain with 3.394 tonnes. The British purchased more than 52.943 tons of onions from Dutch exporters this season. The onions went to buyers in 89 countries in the above-mentioned week.
850 tons more than last year
Based on the latest information, the total export counter is 618.624 tons, which is 850 tons more than last season over the period week 28 to week 47. The average volume of onions exported per week is 30.931 tons. Subsequent information from previously reported export weeks amounted to 346 tons.{{dataviewSnapshot(2_1639563355)}}
