Onions suitable for big bag packing
For big bag shipments, onion quality is especially important. These onions need to have strong, well attached skins to prevent peeling or damage during transport and repacking at destination. We select specific onion lots that are well suited for big bags. By choosing onions with firm skins and good skin retention, the onions remain intact when they are re-packed into smaller bags upon arrival.
This careful selection helps to reduce tare/waste at destination, which is a key factor for wholesale buyers working with big bag volumes. Big bag suitable onions are particularly important for markets such as Spain and Italy, where repacking is common. The same applies to destinations like the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom, where maintaining quality during repacking is essential for efficient wholesale distribution.
By selecting the right onion batches for big bag transport, we help our customers protect product quality and avoid unnecessary losses further down the supply chain.
Red onions for the European market
Dutch red onions are a preferred choice in Eastern Europe due to their consistent quality, strong skin, and excellent storage performance. Grown in the Netherlands under optimal conditions, these onions develop a deep red color, firm structure, and uniform sizing, making them suitable for professional importers and wholesale buyers.
Thanks to their durable outer skin and low moisture loss, Dutch red onions are ideal for long distance transport and medium to long storage. This ensures minimal shrinkage and reliable quality upon arrival in markets such as Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary, and the Baltic states. The onions are available in multiple size grades, typically from 40–60 mm up to 70–90 mm, and can be supplied in 10 kg or 25 kg mesh bags as well as big bags for repacking. Strict sorting and quality control guarantee clean skins, consistent calibers, and high usability for retail, food service, and processing.
Yellow and Red Onions in 5–10 kg Bags
In Romania, yellow and red onions packed in 5–10 kg bags are ideal for fast-moving retail and wholesale channels. This packaging format suits supermarkets, cash & carry, and traditional markets where high product rotation and frequent restocking are essential. The onions are carefully selected for uniform size, firm texture, and strong outer skins, ensuring good ventilation and minimal moisture buildup. This preserves freshness, visual appeal, and shelf life, even under frequent handling and varying storage conditions.
From a commercial perspective, 5 –10 kg bags offer easy handling, flexible storage, and efficient shelf management. Combined with consistent quality, reliable volumes, and competitive pricing, Dutch yellow and red onions are a dependable and profitable choice for importers and distributors serving the Romanian market.
