The Holland Onion Association reports a surge in onion exports, breaking records and reaching nearly 50,000 tons per week this season.

The Ivory Coast's imports are projected to grow by over 20%, potentially surpassing Senegal. Europe, especially the UK and Ireland, also shows sustained growth in onion imports.
