Onions
Perfecta Produce have been successfully growing, packing and exporting Tasmanian Onions to destinations in UK, Europe, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan since 1983.
Onions are planted from seed commencing in May through until September each season. Land is carefully selected from growers in the North West Coast region of Tasmania where the volcanic soil is rich and fresh water is plentiful.
Brown or Cream Gold Onions are available from February until August in all sizes from 25mm through to 100mm packed in bags, bins or bulk bags.
Red Onions which are becoming more popular are also available from April until July.
Onions are stored after harvest in naturally ventilated stores and then packed on modern grading and sorting equipment to meet the buyers exact specifications.
Following packing onions are shipped in ventilated shipping containers called fantainers naturally circulating fresh ambient air around the onions during the voyage.
Tasmania’s cool maritime climate results in a longer growing period which naturally produces the highest quality onion which is capable of being shipped worldwide.
