Onion prices in China are at a 20-year high

The article highlights a uncertain situation in the Chinese onion market, with no significant increase in purchases and limited supplies from Gansu, China's leading onion-producing region, post-harvest season. The current supply is primarily from other regions such as Yunnan and Sichuan. Additionally, adverse weather conditions have negatively impacted the quality and shelf life of new-season Yunnan onions, further tightening the supply. High market prices are also deterring buyers from increasing their purchases.
