Growing year 2023 was one with challenges
2023 was in many ways a challenging crop year, which started with a late spring. The saying 'sowing onions in May gives leeks' was heard regularly again.
After the growing season, harvesting also became almost as challenging as sowing in a number of regions. The results of the difficult growing conditions are reflected in storage. Tare percentages at delivery are higher than in a normal year, with "thick necks" being particular tare. Fortunately, onion prices are good and a good financial balance can still be achieved.
