Egyptian onions could see falling price crisis in Saudi as exporters use middlemen

Egyptian onions are being dumped in the Saudi market as a result of exporters relying on middlemen to bring onions to the kingdom, causing prices to fall, exporters say. Exporters working with brokers are offering higher quantities at lower prices. This could lead to “a new crisis” for onion exports into the Kingdom, which has just lifted a ban imposed on the crop last April.
