Tridge summary

The article reports on the 2022 summer onion harvest in Lower Austria, showing an increase in September but with varied yields due to regional differences and unexpected decreases in irrigated fields. The onions are predominantly small to medium-sized, leading to a negative impact on the total harvest volume. Despite these challenges, the grower's price for loose onions, sorted in crates, has significantly increased to 32.00 euros per 100 kg, a 65% rise from the previous year. This increase is likely to be the maximum for this year, though it could potentially rise further, as was seen in 2019 when the price peaked at 70.00 euros per 100 kg.
