France: The french ‘non-traditional’ potato varieties are ‘hard to move’
A recent IFA potato report reveals that when it comes to France, it is noted that “non-traditional” potato varieties which were grown because of the overall lack of seed last year are proving hard to move.
In relation to the Cyprus potato crop, the IFA experts added, there were overnight frosts on four nights over the weekend and inland areas reported damage.
“Temperatures have since returned to normal but crops will be delayed ‘by 7 to 10 days,’” the IFA report mentioned.
In Ireland, the retail potato demand and consumption remain unchanged in the country’s domestic market.
“Drier weather over the past week means that land conditions are favorable for groundwork. Stocks are behind where they were in previous years before the pandemic distortion. With this in mind, current supply and demand should align well until a new main-season crop comes on board. Prices have stabilized over the past week,” the IFA potato experts concluded.
