Onion exports have picked up again, according to the latest figures. Compared to last season, the lead in exports is being expanded somewhat.
In week 41, 34.256 tons of onions were exported, according to the latest figures from KCB/GroentenFruit Huis. That is almost 5.000 tons more than the export in week 40. In total, 358.218 tons of onions have now been exported this season. Last year this week, the counter was at 350.940 tons. The lead on last season will probably increase further in the coming week. October and November were not the best export months last year.
No major changes this week in the list of largest buyers. Senegal is the largest buyer of Dutch onions with 6.972 tonnes. Ivory Coast follows shortly after with 6.719 tonnes. In third place is not Great Britain, but Mauritania with 2.301 tonnes. The British are in fourth place with 2.202 tonnes. In total, 82 different countries were buyers of Dutch onions.
