Growing onions on your whenua

Onions are grown at scale, and the example in this factsheet is a large Pukekohe farm. It covers what onions need from the soil and climate, the cycle from planning and planting through to harvest, storage and pest control, then running costs and revenue.

Export requirements, the levies paid to Horticulture NZ and Onions NZ, food safety and freshwater farm plans are covered.
