What decides onion margins
Onion prices collapse at harvest and rise through the winter, so the growers who earn are the ones with storage and with buyers lined up for the months when everyone else has sold out. Finding those buyers means publishing variety, calibre, dry matter and available tonnage per month — the facts that a wholesaler or exporter uses to build a supply plan. Without them, the whole crop goes at harvest at the lowest price of the year.
What we build for an onion farm
First, variety and calibre pages with storage life and dry matter, since export buyers screen on exactly that. Second, available tonnage by month, which is what allows a buyer to plan around your storage. Third, export specifications and packaging options, because the better prices are outside the local market. Fourth, forward enquiry forms, so winter volumes are contracted before harvest rather than sold into a crash.
