PPA announces onion pool prices for 2025 harvest season
2025 pool results announced: challenging season results in stable resolution
PPA Group has set the final pool prices for yellow and red seed onions for the 2025 harvest season. After a growing season with good yields and a sales season in which the market came under increasing pressure, affiliated growers will receive their final settlement in early July. Despite the challenging market conditions, PPA has managed to find a suitable destination for every lot.
Good returns in a difficult market
The 2025 growing season started promisingly. Yields were higher than in previous years, and the onions generally emerged from the fields in good condition. However, during the storage period, quality proved disappointing at various locations. At the same time, supply remained high, while buyers operated cautiously and purchased increasingly selectively.
Prices were under pressure, particularly from the winter onwards. For red onions, a larger acreage and the limited storability of some varieties also played a significant role. This led to the market cooling down further throughout the season.
Final pool prices set
The final pool price for yellow seed onions for the 2025 harvest amounts to € 14.27 per 100 kg. For red seed onions, the final pool price has been set at € 11.50 per 100 kg. Both prices apply to delivery week 11 and include the GlobalG.A.P./GRASP surcharge.
Although market prices even dropped to zero during the season and occasionally turned negative, PPA was able to successfully market both coarse and finer lots thanks to an active sales strategy. In doing so, the organization once again confirms the value of a professional pool focusing on transparency, market knowledge, and maximum yield for the grower.
