A recent analysis by EastFruit on global onion import volumes from 2018 to 2022 reveals a wide distribution of importers, with the five largest, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the US, accounting for only 27% of total imports. The fastest-growing onion markets include Kazakhstan and Ukraine from the EastFruit region, ranking 5th and 11th respectively. Poland, a major onion exporter, also showed significant growth in imports, likely due to re-exporting, while Pakistan topped the list due to a loss of onion crops in 2022. The Middle East, particularly Oman and the UAE, show high demand for purple and white onions.
