• India & China net exporters. • Increasing trend in exports (6 years). • Stable trend in imports. Much more area and population then in Holland. • Import occupies a niche offer seasonal onion of the next season & fresh crop (Similarly, as in the
Netherlands.). • A huge population and political motives (consumer basket, inflation, other) make stimulate production in the
amount many times greater than their own consumption. For India in 2013 season possible another picture, but this is an exception to the rules associated with weather factors.

• Price chart repeats the tendency import graphics in Canada. Information received from http://www.agr.gc.ca • Despite the rather low volume of imports (relative to the domestic production in the country) curves never
intersect.
• Net exporter. • It has been a traditional supplier of
onions for Ukraine (and Russia) the last 20 years in certain periods (stable until 2007).
• It has worked as a "gate" for Ukraine and Russia from Europe. Companies imported onion from Holland, changed invoices and sent to Russia and Ukraine as a Polish onion. Very clearly seen in the curves.
• Minimum difference 11424 t in 2010 (year of drought and high prices). • Maximum difference 72392 t in 2009 (before the year of drought, start swinging "pendulum«) . Both the falling trend line. Two reasons: - The country joined the European Union. Manufacturer profitable show "complete" the sale price for the VAT refund. The emergence of the "new gate" - Latvia. - After the 2008 financial crisis, late ,but began to appear large projects for the production of vegetables in Russia and Ukraine. Poland's role began to diminish.

• Net importer. But…. ??? • A trend line is falling rapidly. The last
peak imports fall on arid 2010. • Minimum difference 224420 t in 2012. (I am confident that 2013 will be even less value). • Maximum difference 615486 t in 2007
(Long enough, in 2010 reflected on the curves, but did not change the direction of the trend line.. ).
• Is It possible that some part of the onion pass customs clearance?
Yes. But it's definitely part of it. • Is it possible that invoice prices not
correspond to the real? Sure. But we do not consider the price of Russia. Only trends. • Is this information important for Ukraine? Sure. Ability to export from Russia to Ukraine emerged today. Curves intersect in the future. Perhaps in two years,
may be in three. Opportunities to invest in growing vegetables and construction of storage facilities are available in Russia. Last week information about the new storage in Rostov on 36,000 tons of onions was received three times.

• Net exporter? Net importer? Who? • The first country in the World, which
makes early prediction of volume production and prices for onions and enables each growers to participate in «casino».
• First look says Ukraine as part of the Soviet Union, which should consume significant amounts of onions. There is an opportunity to grow - grow all those who have money and land.

Analysis of export-import activity depending on prices (actual information).
• For curve (next slide), I used information on the average price per month.
• I use the average monthly price for EXW conditions on the mesh-bag 25 kg on pallets from the grower (packer) in the Kherson region.
• My goal - to determine the law of price changes, compared with the dynamics of export-import, build a forecast for the next six months (a year).
• Prior to the 2007 season - as a rule sold domestic production onion until February, since February - import onions. Import quality is always higher then Ukrainian quality . Since 2007 - the «pendulum» begins to swing.
• Price of the last three months created is artificially. No objective reasons for a higher price than in the 2010 season (drought), except for one - greed.
• I propose to consider two scenarios (9 and 10), which depend on the actual volume of onion in long-term storage.
Onion years average price in Ukraine actual/import-export activity.

• Price continues to grow from month to month in all countries. Inventories are very small. The price of imported onion does not regulate the price of the domestic market. The situation is worse than the drought of 2010. Be able to import «only» 20,000 tons at the beginning of the year.
• Growing onion become even more attractive business for «smart» people and in season 2014 ALL begin to grow onions. • By year end, the lowest price will provide an opportunity to export up to 72,000 tons (if there are means to collect and pack).
Government is happy - back low prices, exports are growing, the budget is filled. • Probability of this scenario (my opinion) - not more than 20%. If in January will be prolonged frosts over - 12-15⁰ Celsius - the
probability will rise considerably. (or India buy a large amount of onions in Europe?). • Very favorable for companies that sell seeds.
Forecast onions prices to 2014 (2 scenario, postponed proposal).

• Volumes in the storage onion underestimated. Highest price in December and January. • February, March and April - the price decreases (the first signs have already appeared). • With the increasing cost of storing the most profitable for growers are December and January.
• Sell need right now. • Despite the expected price decline attention to the onions grow anyway and ..... repeated in 2012. Low prices. • Long live EXPORT! • Probability of this scenario (my opinion) - more than 80%. If you enter the market with a great offer - the price can quickly
collapse. If it does not make "Green Team" - someone else will do. • Again it is very favorable for companies that sell seeds. • If you add the growth of the dollar - the profit decline at all and about 8.3 UAH \ 1 USD will remain a sweet memory.
Basic results of the analysis of import and export activity in Ukraine 2007-2013 year
• In any case, the completion in 2014 - growth of volume growing, no fixed role of Ukraine (net exporter or a net importer) and ... very low prices (repeat of the 2012 season) with an increase in administrative pressure before the elections in 2015.
• Substantial cash loss will come next year for all participants onion market (growers, storage, packers, wholesalers, retailers) due to constant pressure on the price and the low base for gross profit.
• The impact of political factors on the export market (the EU ore Customs Union), opening date "export window».
• Slow concentration in production will occur in the most efficient producers, who can get the highest yield at a relatively high quality ( & low cost).
Canadian «surprise»
• Net importer Canada - a big surprise for me! Leading the search for onion harvesting system with "green neck" for long-term storage, I stumbled to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80_tuNHqxWg &
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbUSkF91Rkw (I highly recommend to look!). • I do not believe that Canadian farmers can not grow (and store) the amount of onions, sufficient (or excess)
for their own consumption. • I do not have contacts in Canada, I do not know specifics of its policy of the Agrarian Ministry and the specific
price formation in the market. At the moment I can not get reliable information on these matters. • My assumption - after a sharp decline in average prices in 2008 (twice - not four times, as in Ukraine) certain
system actions allowed Canada to regulate the production for the domestic market and increase the average annual price. Past four years, the price became stable and sufficient to provide added value for growers (warehousing, packers). Consumption deficit is compensated by imports.
• This issue requires further in-depth study.
Probable strategic development of the company as a growers of onions in Ukraine.
• Cost of growing (onion lies in store) • 1 - the average cost in the south of
Ukraine (including drip irrigation) • 2 - average cost efficient economy in
the south of Ukraine (including drip irrigation)
• 3 - for the cost of the necessary value added (there are examples in the central part of Ukraine on the upper watering).
• Stable operation for at least 5 years with a constant accumulation of positive experiences and decrease the cost of growing - the path to a successful enterprise.
• «Dutch scenario» (consolidation of uniform packaged products and successful sale) can not be implemented in Ukraine (undefined role - the importer or exporter?).
• Only its own efficient farm with full process and cost management can fill their own long-term storage and will be able to generate added value.

Tasmania: Early Plantings were possible,
great gap afterwards, low yields small sizes
South Africa: Late Plantings (2-3 weeks late),
low sizes, strong domestic market. (Angola!)
United States -4 %, Storage -2 %, Canada
very mixed results, but not full potential
Argentina: High priced currency makes
exports to Europe difficult, area unchanged,
slightly behind schedule
What do we know of other countries?

Japan (Hokkaido): Like in Europe, late
harvest, small sizes !
What do we know of other countries?

Brazil: Abundant supply likely to continue
until January, because Normal crops in the
South will be marketed later, due to low
prices now. Imports expected to start later.
New Zealand: Area rather stable (-1 %) late
but normal development of crops.
