Onion radar ensures openness in the onion market

A breath of fresh air is blowing through the onion sector with the arrival of Onion Radar, founded by Machiel Boons. With eight years of experience in the onion market, Boons decided to take a new path with Onion Radar in mid-2024. This onion commission company distinguishes itself through honest and transparent communication towards onion growers.

Boons indicates that his experience in the onion market has taught him that onion growers have a great need for open, transparent communication. "We want to include growers in the market movements," says Boons. "Growers obviously determine the time of sale and the price themselves, but we try to facilitate them as much as possible with relevant information in the preliminary stages." Because the company examines batches of onions every day, Uienradar shares valuable insights about the crop status and the quality of the onions. In addition, Onion Radar offers market information such as export developments and current supply and demand trends.  

Onion Radar mainly functions as a commission agent and forms the essential link between growers and processors. Thanks to close ties with all major processors and exporters in the Netherlands, the company has detailed market insight. "We know exactly who is on the market at what time," says Boons. "We have good sales partners for both the top and bottom of the market."

An important feature of Onion Radar is the independent position it occupies. This allows the company to remain objective and always act in the interests of the growers. Personal contact is crucial; Growers can always call or app for market information and advice. The team also comes on site free of charge to assess onion lots.

Onion radar works with a team of regional purchasing partners. Uienradar's regional purchasing partners, often onion growers themselves, have direct contact with onion growers in certain regions. They receive offers from the growers and ensure that Onion Radar is always well informed of the latest developments in the onion market.
