South African onion exporters are expecting a bumper export season this year with a planned 14 000 tonnes to be shipped to Europe, according to freshplaza.com “Of this total, more than 85% will originate from the Dutoit Group, which is aiming to increase its exports in 2009,” managing director for marketing Pieter du Toit said in a recent interview with Eurofruit Magazine. Dutoit said the group would supply onions to European and UK customers from mid- January until the end of May.
