We have initiated the harvesting of our sweet onions in Peru, in the region of Ica. Our first fields were harvested, fully mature, in the second week of July. After field curing, we started packing and shipping with success.
The 2019 crop is growing under normal climate conditions. We are enjoying a steady winter with very stable temperatures between 55°F to 75°F, and plenty sunshine, which is ideal for perfect crop development.
The onion plants are developing very well; the plants are robust and they are reaching maturing stage with 12 to 13 leaves, developing nice bulbs (mostly Jumbo sizes), with great flavor and quality.
For the month of August and September, the volumes are projected to be within the expected average yields and quality. The weather predictions for these two months is very conservative, and will continue to have a positive impact on the crop development.
