Unlike the storage crop, sweet onions ship on short calendars rather than year-round: Vidalia's season runs from spring into late summer, Walla Walla's is a summer-only crop, and both go quiet the rest of the year. Sweet onions are packed in the same wholesale sack and carton sizes as the other varieties. Because a sweet onion serves a different use than a pungent cooking onion, demand for it does not substitute for yellow, red or white, and its price runs on its own calendar tied to those two harvest windows, not the broader storage cycle. ## About this data - Source: USDA AMS shipping-point onion FOB reports (FV130) - Series: Sweet onions, FOB - Basis: FOB shipping point, low-high range - Geography: Across US growing origins - Unit: $/40 lb carton - Last observation: Apr 27, 2026 - Update frequency: USDA reports on business days --- Cite: Sweet benchmark onion FOB prices, from USDA shipping-point reports, as of Apr 27, 2026.
