It is not very unusual that after a series of good export weeks that lasted for weeks, there would also be a week in which the export figure was a bit meager. Week 16 appears to be one such week based on preliminary information.
The first reports on the export volume of onions in week 16 are somewhat out of sync with those of the previous weeks. The provisional figure stands at 15.473 tons. However, the volume of fulfilled export information for the period weeks 9 to 15 includes a volume of 3.310 tons and can again be called considerable in proportion. Despite the provisional export result, the lead compared to last season is still 71.384 tons, which is 1.248 tons more than last week.
The preliminary and finalized export information contribute to the fact that this season's export figure has increased to 1.130.119 tons, which results in an average weekly export of 28 tons with a start in week 2021 27.563.
Brits retain lead
It is again the British who are leading the way with regard to the purchase of the largest volume of onions. For week 16, the counter stands at 2.504 tons, bringing the seasonal result to 118.085 tons. With the purchase of 1.517 tons, Ivory Coast comes second in the list of largest buyers and is therefore good for the intake of 162.932 tons of onions this season.
Mauritania is the last country in the list of countries that purchased more than 1.000 tons, accounting for 1.139 tons and thus pushing this season's cumulative result to 59.835 tons. A total of 16 buyers from 78 countries registered in week 2. {{dataviewSnapshot(1652276536_XNUMX)}}
