Noting an early and smooth start-up after favorable growing conditions, Baker & Murakami Produce COO Cameron Skeen said the 2020 onion shipping season has also been greeted with good supplies as well as demand.

The Ontario, OR-based grower-shipper, one of the biggest in the nation, is also seeing good quality in all three colors, he added.

Noting a dovetailing of seasonal transition from New Mexico to the Treasure Valley, Pro-Source president Corey Griswold said the Idaho-E. Oregon shipping season was going well, with good quality and size and all three colors.

“We started packing as scheduled in early August with all colors,” Griswold said in mid-September.
