Price increase weakens onion exports
In early May, Austrian products were still very much in demand abroad. Prices for onions sorted in boxes rose from 21,00 EUR/dt in KW18 to 30,00 EUR/dt in KW 22. That's a hefty 42.8% increase within one month. Naturally the exports suffered from such prices which, although favourable to domestic availability, could not compete against the cheap competition as from countries like Holland.
