The Idaho-Eastern Oregon Onion Committee is promoting the region’s onions in various high-profile ways, says Candi Fitch, executive director.
“Along with the Idaho-Eastern Oregon Onion Committee’s 2024-25 advertising campaign, the committee will be exhibiting in September at the Americas Food and Beverage Show in Miami and the [International Fresh Produce Association’s] Global Produce and Floral Show in October in Atlanta.” Fitch said.
In addition, the committee will be hosting buyers to visit the Idaho and Eastern Oregon onion-growing region with its Annual VIP Onion Buyers Tour that will take place from Oct. 3-5, Fitch said.
Fitch said the Idaho-Eastern Oregon Onion Committee has been successful for several years in obtaining specialty crop block grants that the committee uses for export promotions. The committee has a yellow onion promotion in Mexico that it has offered for several years.
