The gap between potato prices on the cash market and stock exchange prices has narrowed significantly in recent days. Prices on the cash market have remained stable for 14 days, but the imagination of further rising prices has faded.
The market pointer, also known as the EEX potato index, remained stable at € 15.3 / dt today and the futures market in April 2020 is only 60 cents higher due in April 2020.
Currently, the demand for consumer potatoes from abroad has come to a standstill and the frit factories primarily use pre-contracts. Free goods are almost only bought in when they urgently need to go, when the tubers no longer hold until spring.
