The final EEX index for the 2017/18 marketing season for processed potatoes was found yesterday at € 5.3. That's 20 cents less than the week before.
At € 5.3, the remaining June 18 futures contracts will be settled on the EEX. The most traded April 18 date had a settlement price of 5.8 €.
Decisive for the last decline of the market pointer were in the last week decreasing spot prices in Germany (-0.56) and in Holland (-0.25).
The contributions of the four reports were yesterday:
D = 6.04, NL = 6.44, F = 4.3 and B = 4.55.
This was the last survey of spot prices to calculate the market indicator this season. In November, when the marketing of the next main crop begins, the EEX in Leipzig starts the new reporting season and thus contributes to market transparency. This also makes it easier for market participants outside the industry to orient themselves on the potato market.
