ts for UK onions
The average price of UK onions for the first three weeks of September 2021 was GBP 0.49/ 25kg, 1.2% higher than the average price in August 2021, and 17% higher than the average price in September 2020. The increase in UK onion prices can be primarily attributed to increasing input costs.
UK growers are facing higher costs for fertiliser, energy, transport, and labour. Accordingly, to retain profitability, these costs are being passed onto consumers.
