The first quotations for potatoes suitable for frying have arrived, with Reka-Rheinland leading the way. While other organizations are still waiting, the market is slowly gaining momentum. Read more about the initial prices from Innovator and Agria, the lack of quotations from Belgapom and PotatoNL, and the small export consignments that are being traded.
Reka is quoting €4 per 100 kilos for Innovator this week. Agria is starting the season at €5 per 100 kilos. It is emphasized that these are deliveries from the barn. No quotation has been set for early varieties and Fontane due to a lack of demand.
Belgapom is again not releasing quotes this week. This is the sixth consecutive week that the Belgian trade association for potato trading and processing has not released quotes. However, the organization has announced the contract price for French fry potatoes: €17,50 per 100 kilos.
PotatoNL has not yet published any quotations in the Netherlands. Small consignments are being traded, but they do not meet the criteria of the exchange regulations that underlie the quotations. Small consignments of Agria are exported for €8 to €9 per 100 kilos.
