The potato trade is not very busy. You can sometimes have your doubts about what is being traded. Is it representative to include a batch with rot or storage problems in a quotation?
PotatoNL still has no listing, but the Goes and Emmeloord stock exchanges have their own indicative price. For French fries potatoes, that indicative price has already been skipped a few times this season. This week, they only put a top on the board at €20 with the comment 'no transactions known at the bottom'. That seems a bit special. Belgapom is a sure factor as far as listing is concerned and once again puts €12,50 on the board. In a way, remarkable because Viaverda/Fiwap quoted €12,50 to €15, just like last week, and with the comment that €12,50 are the problem lots and surplus. Apparently, the members of Belgapom only buy bad potatoes.
Reka increased the Fontane and Innovator by €1 to €13,50 and €21 respectively. This week the German also came up with the first prize for Agria at €18. The DCA Spot price for French fries potatoes remains unchanged compared to last week at €14,15. The price is therefore €0,50 lower than last year this week.
