In 2023, worldwide onion exports reached a total value of approximately US$5.1 billion.
Compared to 2019, when the global onion trade was valued at $4.26 billion, the total export value has increased by an average of 19% over the five-year period.
On a year-over-year basis, international sales of onions grew by 15.9%, up from $4.38 billion in 2022.
The top five onion-exporting nations in 2023 were the Netherlands, China, India, Mexico, and the United States, which together accounted for 63.4% of total global onion exports. This indicates a relatively concentrated export market dominated by a few key players.
By region, Europe led the way in 2023, exporting onions worth around $2 billion, which made up 39% of the global total. Asia followed with a 32.7% share, while North America contributed 15.9%.
Smaller contributions came from Africa at 6.4%, Latin America (excluding Mexico but including the Caribbean) at 3.4%, and Oceania, primarily New Zealand and Australia, at 2.7%.
For reference, onions and shallots are categorized under the 6-digit Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) code 070310. Shallots, which resemble smaller onions, are often used in pickling or as a culinary substitute for onions.
