The first PPA Potato Pool for harvest 2017 starts in a difficult year, in which it was not possible to realize a cost-effective payment price. However, the result is slightly above that of polar colleague Eriva. Both pools will merge from 2018 harvest.
The average price for potato chips suitable for consumption from clay is €6,35 per 100 kilos in week 13. This price applies to 40 millimeters upwards and at least 60% 50 millimeters upwards. It is the first prize achieved from the new PPA Potato Pool.
Biggest plus for Agria
Agria has the largest plus above this average price. PPA pays €1 extra for this. The result is €7,35 per 100 kilos. Innovator and Lady Anna have a plus of €0,25 per 100 kilos. For Bintje the price is minus €1. For Challenger, Fontane and Ramos each minus €0,50. Maritiema and Melody have a minus of €0,25. Markies is the only one that has no plus or minus on top of the basic price.
Costs of €0,03 per 100 kilos will be deducted from the prices. The storage fee, which applies from week 13, also amounts to €0,03 per 100 kilos per week. The pool had a duration from week 44 to week 28.
Result above Eriva
Recently made PPA known that pool manager Michel van Oijen will continue independently with the potatoes, so that PPA can focus on onions. For the 2018 harvest, the potato pool will merge with Eriva, which will be marketed under this name.
On Friday, July 13, Eriva announced an average payout price of €6,05 per 100 kilos realized, with Agria also making a plus of €1. PPA has therefore managed to pay out €0,30 above colleague Eriva.
