The fundamentals of the processed potato market have changed little over the past few days. The industry is taking a wait-and-see approach and continues to focus primarily on the processing of the contract tubers. Free quantities are found in a limited range, trading is tough. The price expectations of buyers and sellers often differ too much. In addition, there are always quality problems. There will be more and more reports of rotting or already sprouted potatoes, so that these quantities will be taken up again and again by the factories at a discount. A similar market development is also reported in our neighboring countries Belgium and the Netherlands. Time-critical batches find their way into processing, otherwise trade runs smoothly. In the export business, cheap offers from both Germany and the Netherlands mean there is little business in Belgium. In the market for edible tubers, more and more problems are appearing in the warehouses. Sweaty and germinated areas are becoming more and more common. However, the prices are still largely stable and good qualities in particular can be marketed.Numerous advertising campaigns are intended to give food retailers a boost in business before Christmas.
ZMP Live Expert Opinion
Quiet - this is how the current situation and trade on the potato market can be described. The batches of both the processing raw material and the food are constantly being removed, but trend-setting impulses are missing. In addition, recurring quality problems cause difficulties. It remains to be seen in the coming weeks whether this will still affect prices.
