Tridge summary

In 2022, Polish onion exports experienced a significant increase of 60% compared to the previous year, totaling +26 thousand tons, as reported by the Polish Central Statistical Office (GUS). This surge was primarily due to a high demand in Ukraine, which faced a significant reduction in its onion production due to the ongoing war. The conflict also contributed to supply shortages in some EU countries, including Spain, which witnessed a 40% decrease in its onion crop due to drought. As a result, wholesale onion prices in Poland increased by 2.9 times. Despite anticipated positive supply trends, price levels are expected to remain strong for field vegetables, especially onions, which saw the most substantial price hike.
