En los últimos años, las papas fritas congeladas producidas en China han conquistado el mercado en países como Indonesia, Filipinas y Japón. Esto está ejerciendo presión sobre las exportaciones norteamericanas de papas fritas.
Dutch potato processors have reduced capacity in May, despite the cheaper raw material. In total, 340,700 tons of potatoes were swallowed by the factories, which is more than 7 percent less than in April.
Buyers abroad are currently not waiting for potatoes from the Netherlands. As a result, export does not bring relief in the difficult market situation, in which there is no demand for free potatoes.
In recent years, frozen French fries produced in China have gained market share in countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan. This is putting pressure on North American French fries exports.
The situation is so serious that even Vladimir Putin himself has spoken out. At a meeting with economic officials broadcast on Russian television, the Russian president recently admitted: "Yes, we don’t have enough potatoes this year."
