The provisional export result, including the figures up to and including week 35, once again shows a more positive picture. That means that the lead on last season is increasing again.
The provisional export figures of onions exported in week 35 come out at 35.642 tons. This makes this provisional result a record when it comes to sales in week 35, which had been held until 2021 when 26.417 tons of onions were exported that week. As a result, the ground has been lost, which had been discussed last week with regard to the export lead, has been turned into regaining ground. Last week the difference was still 13.181 tons and with the latest figures it is 26.584 tons, which is well above the weekly average of 21.318 tons. The cumulative export result now stands at 213.183 tons.
Senegalese buying appetite
The good export result of week 35 is primarily due to the Senegalese buying appetite. Buyers in Senegal bought 12.116 tons of onions, leaving the number 2 in the row with largest buyers, Ivory Coast, far behind. Ivorian traders bought 4.330 tons of Dutch onions, about 35% of what Senegal bought. The buying appetite of Senegalese onion traders also pushed Senegal to the top of the list of cumulative export figures for this season.
In total, eight countries purchased more than 1.000 tons of onions. In size these were: Great Britain, Nicaragua, Guinea, Malaysia, Gambia and Mauritania. The buyers came from 35 countries in week 76.{{dataviewSnapshot(2_1663769101)}}
