Conditions Bright for Strong Onion Demand in Texas
The 1919 Texas onion season looks promising for Laredo growers with excellent crop condition and fast growth. A heavy Bermudas yield is expected in late spring and early summer, while cold storage reserves are limited, boosting prices as new crop arrives. Big onion dealers are contracting with Laredo growers at fixed grades, aiming to secure supply before harvest. Reduced Texas acreage this year narrows overall availability, supporting further price strength. Old shipments last year soured the market, prompting growers to plant fewer onions and bolster prospects for higher prices.
