Ukraine: past year onion is still for sale

The players of Ukrainian fruit&vegetable market inform that the shipments of onion 2006 have been still entering markets. As a rule, this onion is supplied by farms and enterprises, which utilize quality storages. The prices for onion harvested in 2006 are almost on the same level for newly harvested onion; the product 2006 does not significantly influence the market situation. There was no bulb onion of the past year harvest for sale in August in the previous years.

According to evaluations of the analysts of ""Agrooglyad: Vegetables and Fruits" weekly", onion production will decline 12-15% comparing to the previous year, when onion production reached top records. Nevertheless, according to the tentative estimations, the supply of onion on Ukrainian market will be sufficient to cover the inner demand. Also, we should expect onion export from Ukraine to the EU countries to dramatically decline; the supplies of the imported Polish onion will simultaneously grow in the western regions of the country.

You can get the details of the price perspectives for onion in December-June during the fourth international conference "Fruits&Vegetables of Ukraine-2007. Meeting New Leader", to be held on December 4th-5th 2007 in Kyiv on the territory of the National Complex "Expocenter of Ukraine". We'd like to remind that if registered and paid the participant's fee until September 1st 2007, the company is able to save 800 UAH per each participant!
