Onion Prices in Peru Skyrocketed Reaching Historic High in August on High International Demand

Published 2023년 8월 14일

The wholesale price of Peruvian red onions has surged in the last two months due to high international demand, reaching a historic high of USD 1.66/kg in August 2023, with a 12% MoM increase. This rise is primarily driven by a global onion shortage caused by reduced cultivation due to profitability concerns in major producing nations, compounded by a worldwide scarcity of fertilizers.
