Germany: Onion production at high level

(AMI) - The German Onion production 2021 is characterized by an increase in crop area and production. According to the final crop data of the Federal Statistical Office, the area under cultivation with onions has been expanded by 18% to 14,479 ha in 2021. Never before has there been such a strong increase in area.

According to official figures, the onion production reached 664,277 t,

an increase of 23 % or 125,000 t compared to the previous year. The average production of the past 4 years was exceeded by one third. This creates the conditions for a long supply of German onions, as demanded by the retail trade. An increased share of long-term storage supports this trend.
