Price Dynamics in the Imported Potato Market

Analysts in the fruit and vegetable market note that during this period, there was price instability for potatoes. After a brief phase of stability, wholesale prices increased, but since the end of March, a gradual decline in the cost of imported potatoes has been recorded.

“This is a record for the last four seasons and one of the highest figures in history. We imported more potatoes only in the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons,” says the expert.
