ZMP Live Expert Opinion
In the UK, potato prices are on the rise after last week's first AHDB crop estimate came in at just 5.1 million tonnes and still requires a good 10% of potatoes to be harvested. Although the harvest last year was 4.9 million tonnes even smaller, but at that time, the processors could, unlike this year, still rely on high residual stocks of the previous year. The farmers on the island are currently holding back their winter storage potatoes in the hope of further price increases. Contracted potatoes, on the other hand, are recalled prematurely by the factories and they are already starting to receive significant imports from Belgium, Holland and Germany. This is unusual for this season.
