China: Potato price hits five-year low
Zhongguo Sannong reports that the new potato harvest will enter the market in April and May. The market price of potatoes is currently falling. It already hit the lowest position in five years. Many businesses have already suffered severe losses.
The new harvest of potatoes comes from Yunnan, while stored potatoes come from Hebei, Henan, and Inner Mongolia. The supply from potato stores is nearing its end, and the gradually growing supply of new potatoes has caused the price to fall.
The current price is far from the lowest price of stored potatoes. According to surveys the production areas in Shandong, Henan, and Hebei bring large volumes of potatoes onto the market in early April and May, which causes a short-term supply excess, which in turn brings down the price of new and old potatoes.
