Thinner-skinned and milder than yellow, white is the variety food-service and fresh-market buyers favor, tying its demand more to that channel than to the long-storage trade the fall crop supplies. White onions ship in the same 50-lb and 25-lb sacks and 40-lb cartons as the rest of the market, but the supply calendar runs differently: its shipping-point quotes lean on the same origins and months that drive Mexican import volume, so its price often tracks that crossing traffic more closely than the domestic storage cycle yellow and red follow. ## About this data - Source: USDA AMS shipping-point onion FOB reports (FV130) - Series: White onions, FOB - Basis: FOB shipping point, low-high range - Geography: Across US growing origins - Unit: $/50 lb sack - Last observation: Jul 24, 2026 - Update frequency: USDA reports on business days --- Cite: White benchmark onion FOB prices are 0% above the five-year median for the corresponding calendar week (USDA shipping-point reports).
