About White onion prices
White stands apart from yellow and red in where it grows: California, Texas and the Mexican crossings this site tracks on its import pages are the leading sources, and the northern storage districts that anchor the yellow crop grow very little of it. 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.
