Marketability — Onion

Allium cepa L. var. cepa

The marketability of onions is defined as the ratio of the weight or number of standard, mature bulbs to the total harvest volume, expressed as a percentage.

In the reference 14 varieties crop Onion, where this is mentioned in the description.

Marketable produce consists of healthy, clean, intact, and non-sprouted bulbs that are typical of the variety in shape and color, featuring a well-dried neck and firm outer scales. The minimum size for a standard bulb is generally at least 3–4 cm in its greatest transverse diameter. The produce must be free from mechanical damage, signs of pest activity, and any evidence of disease or decay.

High marketability rates, typically exceeding 90–95%, indicate quality varietal material and strict adherence to agrotechnology. The yield of the marketable fraction is influenced by the cultivation method, varietal characteristics, and the timeliness of harvest. Observing harvest timelines, based on foliage lodging, is a critical condition for proper neck drying and the preservation of market quality during subsequent transportation and storage.
