News about the potato market

Potatoes News, 18.10.2024

Bullish
  • Supraregional export opportunities
  • Increased demand at the end of the year
  • Special offers from LEH increase sales
Bearish
  • Falling quality puts pressure on prices
  • Goods in stock increase supply

The trade concluded many transactions with domestic goods. Only few goods from France were added. Prices fluctuated depending on variety and demand, particularly on the markets in Berlin and Frankfurt. Prices remained unchanged on most markets.

The harvest of ware potatoes was completed in good weather conditions. Goods suitable for storage are being put into storage, which is reducing supply. However, batches of lower quality, which have to be marketed directly from the harvest, are putting pressure on prices, especially nationwide. Occasionally, goods that have already been through-stored are also being offered. As consumers are once again responding more to special offers from food retailers and direct marketers, demand has also picked up. The pressure on producer prices has eased somewhat. Nationwide, the focus is still on export opportunities. Some observers do not see increased demand and stable prices until the end of the year. Mark-ups on goods in stock could then also be possible.
