The flare-up of the corona crisis is causing a great disappointment among potato traders. In October and November, European exporters of frozen potato products were able to export more than ever before. One had the impression that COVID-19 could no longer affect the potato industry in this marketing year. But in the last few days the mood has clearly clouded over, which was also reflected in the clear decline in the price of the April 22 potato futures on the EEX yesterday. On Friday the EEX potato futures were still valued at 20 € / dt, on Monday this week started at 1.5 € / dt or 7.5% weaker.
