News and Stories

Markon First Crop Red and Yellow Onions will be shipped out of Central California and New Mexico through mid-August. While the recent transition out of Texas and Southern California limited inventory, higher volume is expected the week of June 13. Growers planted onions later-than-normal this season; supply levels will increase in two weeks, decreasing prices.

• Fresh-run onions from California and New Mexico possess spongier texture, lighter color, and milder flavor than Northwestern stocks
• Overall acreage is slightly higher this season
• Yields are above average
• Expect adequate supplies through summer
• Starting the week of June 13, Northwest growers will begin shipping over-winter stocks, increasing overall supplies on the market
