In 5 questions to Machiel Boons from Uienhandel.com explains how this new tool works.
Which onions is the Polish industrial market looking for?
"When there are onions in the Netherlands with quality problems (such as shot), they can often still go to the industrial market in Poland. The processing companies peel the onions and process them. These can be large companies that peel onions mechanically and process them into, for example, onion rings or onion cubes. However, they can also be small companies, where local women peel the onions with a peeler. In this way, there is still a market for Dutch onions, which are qualitatively at the lower end."
Is Poland on the market?
"Onions are also grown in Poland. Last year, Poland was missed enormously as a sales market, because they had enough onions at their disposal. As a result, part of the demand for Dutch onions disappeared. This year, there are a number of cultivation and harvesting problems. because of the heavy rain. As a result, fewer industrial onions became available to Polish processors. At the end of December, Poland reported for the first time in the Netherlands with a demand for industrial onions. This demand has continued and now Poland is clearly to the market for the processing of industrial onions."
Who pays the industrial onions?
