España: Mallorca: Sa Pobla new potato exports about to get underway
As the first harvest of Lady Christl new potatoes was undertaken on Wednesday, Mateu Export in Sa Pobla is about to start potato exports. In the next few days, potatoes will be shipped to export markets, such as the UK.
After two years of having had to adapt to Brexit and the effects of the pandemic, the main issue at present is increased cost. Joan Mateu says that since planting began in October, production costs have increased greatly. "This is the case with electricity, fertilizer and fuel, to give three examples."
Mateu Export forecasts that exports will last until July 15, when the second harvest cycle will be completed. In 2021, the company distributed a total of 15,300 tons of potatoes. These were for Mallorca, the national market and the export market.
