NW Onions’ demand is fair on all colors.  Export demand is very good with strong FOB’s heading to many offshore destinations. White onion demand and prices are steady. While overall FOB prices are fairly stable, freight being historically high this year has inspired growers to drop the fob prices in order to hit attractive delivered prices. In other words; the effect of COVID is still messing with our markets. All colors of Organic Onions are available albeit at higher pricing this season.
