The price of the new carrot is under some pressure, although the trade is continuing quietly. The price has fallen further since last week. However, the price for this carrot is not expected to fall much further.
The price for the new free carrot has fallen from €2 to approximately €25 to €16 per 18 kilos in 100 weeks. The biggest price depressing effect is the fact that traders are using the free carrot cannot lose. They therefore mainly limit themselves to contracts, which means that carrots come onto the market that no longer fit into the bowl.
Few purchased from neighboring countries
According to the traders, little carrot is still purchased by Germany and Belgium. This is because Germany would have sufficient supply of its own. The yields can be considered reasonable for the time being, although this varies greatly. New supply from Zeeland is expected within 1 week.
