Tridge summary

The article discusses the unusual situation in Germany and the Netherlands where the normal price drop of onions after the harvest of overwintering and chive stocks, and before the spring sowing fields are ready, has been halted due to unexpected losses from drought and heat.

Both countries' well-organized export sectors are expected to maintain this high price level.
