In the case of processing potatoes, little has changed in the framework conditions. At the end of last month, buyers for free lots left the market more and more, so that old-crop goods are currently very difficult to market. The factories have little or no need for connection and rely on the smooth processing of the new harvest. Prices have stabilized at the previous week's level. Trading on the EEX is calm. At the current time, the high for the April 23 contract was 19.4 euros/German. The early potato season is slowly picking up speed on the market tubers. Clearing is already underway in some regions. However, the upcoming high temperatures could cause delays in the west and south of the country. The quantitative proportion of old-harvest goods is currently continuing to decline. The price structure is largely stable. The qualities are currently very mixed, with floury varieties in particular the sorting rate is high. In the southwest of the country, the range of goods will be supplemented with local potatoes in the coming week, replacing the potatoes from Egypt and Israel
ZMP Live Expert Opinion
On the potato market, the transition to the new crop is expected. Accordingly, buyers in particular are hesitant and speculating on falling prices. However, the current drought could still have a negative impact on the good yield prospects so far. Whether this can give the price structure a new direction will become apparent in the coming weeks with the start of the right harvest time.
