Organizers: Fruit-Inform & APK-InformUkraine has exported around 100,000 tons of onions in 2006/07 годов, which, unexpectedly for many, made it one of the top onion exporters in Europe. However, then the EU had a significant onion deficit. The situation has changed sharply in the current season – both Ukraine and the EU have an overproduction of onion aggravated by the global economic crises.
