To the liking of many growers it has taken a long time, but there is now real movement on the potato market. Both Viaverda/Fiwap from Belgium and RNM from France increased the quotation for Fontane to €20.
Last week RNM was still at the bottom of the range as the average price. This week they have raised the top €2,50 and the top is also the price that is on the board. Hence the increase of €5 to €20. The range is €15 to €20. Innovator has also been raised from €21 to €25. Innovator therefore neatly ends up in the middle of the range that runs from €20 to €30.
In Belgium, the €15 disappeared and now stands at €20 as the top and bottom for Fontane and Challenger. "For later delivery, higher prices are proposed by several buyers", Viaverda writes in the explanation of the listing. Furthermore, Viaverda notes that there remains demand for export-suitable potatoes.
