Purchasers of fry factories are currently exploring raw material availability for the months of May to June. The reason for this is the delayed sowing of new potatoes in Belgium by about four weeks due to water-swollen soils that dry off only slowly. The bids are already in the direction of 10 € / dt. The supply pressure of storage potatoes has meanwhile decreased, especially as starch factories in Germany and the Netherlands now enable sales of inferior qualities.

Some varieties even remain almost unsalable if they have too low underwater weights. In particular, the EEX will benefit from the June 18 date, which at the time of the day has a daily price of 50 cents at a price of € 9.2 / dt.
