Yellow onions
Moroccan yellow onions are prized for their strong flavor, dry skin and excellent shelf life. Used daily in cooking throughout the world, they are a strategic export product. Thanks to a dry climate and well-adapted terroirs, Morocco grows high-yield yellow onions, available for fresh and semi-industrial export.
