Buying Dehydrated Onion via Dutch Traders or Direct from India: Price, Risk and Convenience
Most Indian dehydrated onion used in Germany arrives through Rotterdam and Antwerp, resold by traders at a quarter to a half over the Indian price. What that margin actually buys, stock, credit, an EU invoice and someone else's risk; what going direct saves and costs; the volume at which each route wins; the hybrid an exporter with European service offers; and how to decide.
Landed Cost of Dehydrated Onion in Europe: A Worked Calculation per Kilo

8 to 1: The Fresh-to-Dry Yield Ratio Behind Every Dehydrated Onion Price
Every price in the dried-onion trade rests on one number: how many kilograms of fresh onion it takes to make one kilogram of dry.

Dehydrated vs Fresh Onion: The Real Cost per Kilo of Onion in Your Recipe
A kilogram of dried onion costs five times a kilogram of fresh and replaces eight or nine of them, which is where the comparison starts and where most people stop. The full comparison adds waste, peeling and chopping labour, cold storage, the price swings through the year, the microbiology a plant must manage and the consistency it does not get. The method, the numbers and four worked cases.
