Vidalia onion season officially kicks off April 12, according to the Vidalia Onion Committee—and Giumarra Southeast says it is offering promotable volumes of the summer favorite, packaged in the Nature’s Partner brand. Shipments will begin the third week of April and continue through the end of July.

“Growing conditions in South Georgia have led to a favorable outlook for this year’s crop,” said Stu Monaghan, division manager of Giumarra Southeast. “We expect the harvest to be of outstanding quality, with promotable volumes right from the start. Sizes appear to have an ideal mix of colossal, jumbo and medium.”

The onions are offered in both mesh bags and bulk bins to support a variety of merchandising strategies during the spring and summer months.

“The Vidalia brand is a known driver in the onion category,” said Kristina Lorusso, Midwest region business manager for Giumarra. “Our goal is to partner with retailers all over the country who want to take their onion sales to the next level. We are prepared to support promotions with creative marketing strategies, such as demos, in-store grower events and sales contests.”

Vidalia onions have a mild, sweet flavor profile and crisp texture, making them ideal for a variety of culinary uses. Giumarra is offering the onions in partnership with G&R Farms of Glennville, Georgia.

Additionally, Giumarra’s domestic Vidalia onion season is complemented by Peruvian and Mexican sweet onions to round out a 12-month supply.
