The market for industrial potatoes is extremely calm. The factories process almost exclusively contract goods. If the temperatures are much too mild, the supply of potatoes increases; sometimes there are overhangs that could not be placed in the export. Even though the prices for fries raw materials remain stable, the demands for exports have now given way. This is in the hope that this will revive demand after the carnival days. At least that was the case in March in previous years. The prices of the April 20 futures contract have now arrived from the current spot market level. There is currently no fantasy of rising prices among the participants of the futures exchange.
