Overview of RedOnion

Red onion, also known as shallot in international markets, is a popular variety of onion with small, clustered bulbs and a distinctive sweet and aromatic flavor. India, particularly Tamil Nadu (including regions like Salem, Perambalur, and Trichy), is a major producer of small onions, making it a key export crop.

Red onions have strong export potential due to their rich flavor and consistent demand in countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, UAE, and Indonesia. They typically packed in ventilated mesh or jute bags of 5 to 25 kg to maintain freshness. However, their shelf life is shorter than that of big onions about 30 to 45 days so proper curing and storage are essential. Exporters should also stay updated on government regulations, as exports can be restricted during domestic shortages. Despite this, small onion remains a high-potential agro product, especially for traders targeting Sri Lanka and Southeast Asian markets.
