Irlanda: Irish potato market holds steady, European seed production looks promising

The latest weekly potato market report from the Irish Farmers Association (IFA) reveals a steady demand for potatoes in Ireland, with consumption holding strong as the harvest season progresses.

 As Irish growers continue to lift their crops, the market remains optimistic, although concerns about yields in later-planted crops are growing.

Recent reports suggest that these later-planted crops are likely to experience reduced yields, a situation exacerbated by colder night temperatures forecasted for the coming week. These conditions could further hinder the ability of these crops to bulk up, posing potential challenges for growers as the season advances.

Across the Irish Sea, the U.K. potato market is described as producing an “average” crop. Industry experts indicate that the final outcome of the season will largely depend on the success of the ongoing harvest and the sustained level of market demand. However, quality issues have surfaced this week, with high levels of bruising being a predominant concern. Additionally, some reports highlight significant waste deductions due to greening, impacting overall market efficiency and profitability.

In contrast, the European seed potato sector appears poised for a positive outlook. Reports indicate that seed production across Europe is expected to be sufficient for the 2025 season, thanks to an increase in planting area and favorable tuberisation conditions. This development offers a reassuring signal for the future stability of the potato industry across the continent.

As the season progresses, growers and market participants in both Ireland and the U.K. will be closely monitoring the weather patterns and market demand, which will play critical roles in shaping the outcomes for this year’s potato crop.
