The potato market is currently showing little movement, which is reflected in the quiet agricultural market. Domestic offers dominate the market, while French batches are only appearing sporadically. Italian and Cypriot lots have already been withdrawn from marketing. Despite lower demands from traders, sales remain unchanged. Digging work continues, interrupted by heavy rainfall. The supply of ware potatoes is steadily increasing, although storage activities could possibly ease the market situation.
Demand is balanced in the vacation resorts, but supply continues to exceed demand and pressure on producer prices remains. The REKA quotation has been reduced again and there is consolidation on the industrial market. The local quotation for early industrial goods remains stable, while Zorba and Innovator are recording premiums.
The table potato market is therefore unchanged, with various developments in terms of supply, demand and prices.
