Most onions are processed in Zeeland, where 80% of the processing and trade in onions takes place. Cultivation takes place throughout the Netherlands, concentrating in Flevoland and the southwest of the Netherlands. In addition, we are also seeing more and more onions in Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe and the South East of the Netherlands.
