Tridge summary

The Dutch onion export record has been broken for the third year in a row, reaching over 1.3 million tons last season. However, this record may not be matched this season due to a decline in onion cultivation and adverse weather conditions. The total export for the 2022/23 season has rapidly increased in the first five weeks, with Ivory Coast, Senegal, and Great Britain being the top importing countries.
