Yellow onion prices stable as imports arrive

Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) data showed that some 10,370 MT of fresh yellow onions have been imported into the country as of Oct. 24.

The latest figure accounts for almost 65 percent of the 16,000 MT import volume approved by Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. in August following the projected depletion of stocks of locally produced yellow onions.

BPI data showed that 1,173 MT of fresh yellow onions were imported in August, 5,857 MT in September and 3,140 MT in October.
