In traditional retail outlets (excluding discounters), organic yellow onions sold for 5.70 CHF (6,97 USD) per kilogram in April. Non-organic yellow onions, on the other hand, cost 1.68 CHF (2,05 USD) per kilogram. The price difference between organic and non-organic onions was therefore 4.02 CHF (4,91 USD) per kilogram (+238%). The price difference between organic and non-organic onions is typically high because the costs of organic onions are higher. It increased from October 2024, mainly because non-organic produce became cheaper.
