Common questions

What is the current Peru onion price?

Peru is not quoting right now. The last USDA shipping-point price was mostly $23.00-24.00 FOB per 40 lb carton for yellow jumbo in 40 lb cartons, on Apr 14, 2026. That is the benchmark combination this page tracks; the chart above carries every variety, size and pack Peru currently quotes, and the weekly movers board compares it against the other shipping-point origins.

When does the Peru onion season run?

Peru onions typically ship August 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.
