ZMP Live Expert Opinion
The potato market remains oversupplied and prices stable to slightly weak, with no significant signs of recovery. Seasonal demand is only providing limited impetus and the export situation remains difficult. A structural easing is only to be expected if demand triggers such as holiday effects, special promotions or export activity increase.
