Multi-year average
Russia allows selected Dutch seed potatoes
The Netherlands can restart seed potato exports to Russia. At the end of last week, the Russians gave written confirmation of this.
The confirmation means that the samples examined by the Russian Plant Health Service were in order. 'That is reason for the Russians to make export possible,' says Jan Gottschall of the Dutch Potato Organization.
The export volume corresponds to what exporters have registered. 'The list shows the volume that we have requested. The tonnage is the multi-year average.' The Noordoostpolder remains excluded from export.
Most of the seed potatoes will be shipped/loaded to Russia in early spring.
