Resumen
Descripción
The Idaho–Eastern Oregon onion industry operates in a market environment characterized by a high level of onion
price and supply volatility. Years of relatively high onion prices are often followed by years of very low prices which
do not allow onion growers to recover their onion production costs. This feature of the industry adversely affects the
profi tability of onion growers and the economic performance of their industry. This study conducts an analysis of
alternative market scenarios for the Idaho–Eastern Oregon onion industry in the light of possible implementation of
the onion supply management strategy. The results presented in this paper can be used to make a decision on the onion
area planted and to predict how changes in the onion supply level would affect the level of onion price in the analyzed
industry.
