Red shallots
At TOP The Onion Group, we supply high-quality shallot sets, carefully selected for optimal performance. With many years of experience and specialization in this sensitive crop, we support both professional shallot growers and hobbyists.
Product description
Shallot cultivation requires precision and craftsmanship
Growing red shallots demands a careful and professional approach. One of the biggest challenges is managing virus pressure, such as Yellow Stripe Virus, which can significantly reduce yield. Through strict selection and continuous monitoring throughout the growing season, we minimize this risk. This is where our expertise truly makes a difference.
Virus-free shallot sets from clean soils
Our shallot sets are grown on clean fields in Northern France, where the climate and soil conditions are ideal for healthy development. We also use geographically spread cultivation, including in Southwest Netherlands and the Flevopolders, to diversify risk and ensure consistently high quality.
Flexibility and guidance for every grower
Every grower has different needs. That’s why we offer flexible delivery options and provide support in choosing the right planting material. Our shallot sets are regularly assessed for quality and vigor, both in the field and through additional lab analyses.
Why choose shallot sets from TOP The Onion Group?
✔ Professionally selected, top-quality planting material
✔ Strict monitoring of virus pressure and field hygiene
✔ Cultivation on clean, controlled fields in France and the Netherlands
✔ Flexible delivery: loose, pre-packed, or private label
