Ukraine began to ship onions to Romania, which previously actively imported these products from Moldova.

Experts explain this reorientation by the reduction of Moldovan stocks and the increase in onion prices in Europe.

"As of today, the price of onions in Ukraine remains stable and ranges from UAH 10 to UAH 15/kg, which is equivalent to USD 0,27-0,40/kg, depending on the quality, region and lot size. In recent weeks, there have been many offers on the market for the sale of small onions and onions of low quality, which is the result of the sorting of products for export shipments and supply to the supermarket chain. Prices for such onions do not exceed UAH 7/kg ($0,19)," – Oleksandr Khorev, said FAO international expert.

"Currently, the situation on the global onion market looks absolutely incredible. In many countries, such as Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan, there is a clear surplus of onions on the market. India, which has banned exports, is also facing a collapse in its prices. Low prices for onions in Türkiye  as well. At the same time, there is a shortage of high-quality onions in the European Union, but its export to Asia, the Middle East, and East Africa from the Netherlands is currently complicated by the attacks of the Houthis on civilian ships in the Red Sea," – said Andriy Yarmak, economist of the FAO investment department.

In addition, too many countries introduce restrictions on the export of onions, which leads to the unpredictability of this market.
