Common questions
What is the current New York onion price?
New York is not quoting right now. The last USDA shipping-point price was mostly $9.00-10.00 FOB per 50 lb sack for yellow medium in 50 lb sacks, on May 1, 2026. That is the benchmark combination this page tracks; the chart above carries every variety, size and pack New York currently quotes, and the weekly movers board compares it against the other shipping-point origins.
When does the New York onion season run?
New York onions typically ship October to April. Outside that window there is no fresh shipping-point quote for the origin, which is ordinary crop rotation rather than a gap in the data. The onion calendar lays out how the domestic origins hand off to each other through the year.
What does FOB mean on these prices?
Free on board at the shipping point: the price of the onions loaded onto a truck at the packing shed, before freight. A delivered price adds the haul from the origin to the receiver, which is often the larger number of the two on a long lane. What does FOB mean has the full definition, and how freight changes the delivered price covers the second half.
