Polish farmers experience serious problems with potato sales

TVP informs, Polish farmers had high potato harvest in 2007. However, there have been no reasons for joy yet, because potato prices are still extremely low. The wholesale prices decline lower than $0.08-0.12/kg; at the same period of time past year the prices for potato were 2-2.5 times as high. To compare: according to the data provided by the analysts of "Agrooglyad: Vegetables and Fruits" weekly, the average price for potato is $0.22-0.28/kg in Ukraine, i.e. 2.5-3 times as high than in Poland.

To the opinion of "Agrooglyad: Vegetables and Fruits" experts, great potato supplies in Poland will press the prices down on potato market of Ukraine in coming months, on the background of the increased potato production in our country. You can learn about price perspectives for potato from the leading experts of this industry during the fourth international conference "Fruits and Vegetables of Ukraine 2007. Meeting New Leader". The event will take place on the 4th-6th of December 2007 on the territory of the National Complex "Expocenter of Ukraine" in Kyiv.
