The turbulent weeks are behind us for now. At least that is the picture that emerges when we look at the quotations of last week. That it is somewhat tamer is also expressed in the DCA EU-4 Potato Index.
The bandwidth in the potato market remains remarkably large. PotatoNL sets the bottom at €27,50 and is therefore the bottom of the EU. The other countries set €30 on the board for Fontane. The top of the market remains unchanged at €40. PotatoNL and Reka do give different signals for the top of the market. The Netherlands scales Agria higher while in Germany Innovator makes the top of the market.
The DCA EU-4 Potato Index has increased by €0,08 to €32,53 per 100 kilos. Belgium is the lowest in terms of input for the second week in a row with €30. The leader in the EU-4 Potato Index remains, as it has been for practically the entire season, Germany.
