The market situation in the ware potato market remains balanced. However, the Christmas business is gradually stimulating demand. Firm varieties are currently doing well. Due to the balanced supply/demand situation, prices have hardly changed, albeit with significant fluctuations. It should be borne in mind that lower quality storage goods are putting pressure on supply. For weeks now, market participants have been hoping that food retailers will promote sales through special promotions. It remains to be seen to what extent local market players will be able to benefit from increased export demand. Industrial potatoes were able to record increases in the previous weeks. The level achieved is currently being maintained.
