Things don't really want to be spectacular in onion exports. That is almost impossible at this time of year. Nevertheless, Dutch exporters are on the upward trend. More onions are being exported for the third week in a row.
In week 10, 15.155 tons of onions were exported, according to figures from KCB/GroentenFruit Huis. That is more than 400 tons more than in week 9. The five-year average for week 10 is 15.152 tons. This season is pretty close to that. A total of 817.163 tons were exported during the current season. Last season the counter stood at 947.516 tons.
Great Britain was the most important buyer of Dutch onions in week 10, good for 3.239 tons. This is followed by Israel, which purchased 1.894 tons. In third place is Spain, which imported 1.155 tons of onions from the Netherlands. African countries have largely withdrawn from the Dutch market. This week only Mauritania and Guinea-Bissau are in the top 10.
