It is in part related to the outbreak albeit the beginning of the increase (January) was only related to late issuance of importing licenses.its already a few weeks so unsure if its outbreak related
It is in part related to the outbreak albeit the beginning of the increase (January) was only related to late issuance of importing licenses.
The very fast majority of onions sold on the Indonesian market were imported from China which is the world top producer of this commodity. If the first increase is due to the late issuance of the proper documentations, to only an handful of importers, it became terrible when all importation from China got jammed due to the outbreak.
In January the prices for wholesale increased from Rp 15K to Rp 40K, then with jamming it went from 40K to over 100K. At the moment a sack of 20 kg, when bought by bulk is between 2 to 3 jt depending on quality and size . At the retail level we are talking about around 200K a kg which bare most provinces but Bali or JKT to get any. There's no market for onions at Rp 200K per kg outside these high paying provinces.
The situation may be eased next month since the Trade Minister has issued a regulation to temporarily remove the need to get import documentation for importers of bawang bombay and bawang putih till May 31st. It should allow a greater stock with much more import than in the past three months and ultimately help stabilize the price before Ramadhan.
The late issuance or non issuance of import license in the past three months has been a problem for many commodities traditionally imported (ex: oranges and grape for example, which have been affected too).
I second that...can't even get online from my main supplier!Noodles are hard to find in Jakarta.
Good luck! Even in Oregon/Washington they're really only available when in season. When they are, that's the only kind I buy. You must be from the West, anywhere East of the Rockies usually people refer to Vidalia.Are Walla Walla sweet onions from the USA available to buy inIndonesia? I got spoilled eating them instead of the typical generic onions that make you cry. What's so great about Walla Walla sweet onions.
I lived in the Seattle area before retiring to Asia. Every summer my garder had a section for Walla Walla onions. They are easy to grow and typically took 2 years to mature. They are great for salads or anything! I was hoping I cound get some starter onions to grow here.Good luck! Even in Oregon/Washington they're really only available when in season.
