"At the moment there are onions going to Africa, Central America, the Caribbean, the Middle East and the Far East. The traditional onion buying countries in Europe are on the market too. Next week there is a boat going to Senegal/Mauritania, followed by Ivory Coast. We'll be in the middle of Christmas orders in mid November. The first ships to Russia could also go any minute. The first containers have already been shipped to Russia. This is why I'm cautiously positive. In the end it's not about whether the onions cost 18 or 24 cents, the countries who buy will stay on the market."
