ous onion season in the Western Cape was a very good one and because Cape onion growers are able to plant intermediary onions (because of longer day length than in the northern parts of the country) they are able to store onions for up to 6 months. This overlaps with the Limpopo and Brits (Northwest Province) onion growers season, which further contributed to oversupply.
Onion prices have been under pressure for a couple of months now. At the moment they stand at R2.90 (0.16 euro) per kg.
