There is no such thing as catching your breath on the onion market. If one buyer relaxes for a while, another will take off with the loot, says DCA market expert Pieter Post. The prices on the regional fairs are on the rise and that gives growers confidence. The saying 'better expensive than not for sale' applies to the onion market and luckily not 'owning the business is the end of the fun'. It remains important for growers to take good care of the onions and not to be surprised by quality problems.
