Sweet Onions 2026: Mediterranean Basins at Their Best

Sweet onions from Spain and Morocco are displaying exceptional quality this season. A review of volumes and high-potential markets.

· by Alaska Export Team

The 2026 Mediterranean sweet onion harvest is shaping up to be a historic one. Optimal winter rainfall conditions promoted vigorous root development, producing bulbs that are larger and more flavorful than average, with overall volumes up 13%.

Sweet Onions from Spain

The Fuentes de Ebro Onions, bearing protected geographical indication status, open the season with a juicy texture and subtly sweet flavor that sets them apart in gourmet markets. Their reputation now extends well beyond the Iberian Peninsula.

Pink Onions from Morocco

Pink onions from the Meknès and Khénifra regions are growing in export volume. Their consistent sizing and long shelf life make them a highly competitive, cost-effective option for northern European retail chains.
