The analytical review of the latest issue of World Potato Markets from November 5, 2024, highlights key events in the global potato industry. In the EU, despite a slight increase in volumes in the Netherlands and Belgium, the overall harvest has been mixed, and prices remain stable. In the UK, where the harvest was modest, production costs rose by 1.4%, which is also affecting retail prices. Asian markets, particularly Japan and Thailand, continue to increase their imports of potato products, while India is strengthening its position by offering more competitive prices.
In the Middle East, particularly in Saudi Arabia, there is a decline in frozen potato imports, driven by growth in local production and increased competition from India and Egypt. These market dynamics have a significant impact on European exporters.
