South Texas is shipping its sweet 1015 onions in good volume, according to the South Texas Onion Committe of Mission, TX.
With ongoing loadings expected from the Rio Grande Valley through early-June and the Uvalde region continuing supply into mid-July, retailers still have significant opportunities to promote Texas sweet onions during key summer selling periods, such as with Fourth of July promotions. This availability allows retailers to keep Texas-grown sweet onions on the shelf during some of the highest-traffic grilling holidays of the year.
