Russia: producers plan to increase production volume of potatoes
According to monitoring data of "APK-Inform", many agrarian producers plan to extend areas under potatoes. Stable demand for fresh potatoes on the domestic market against a background of sales decrease in the segment of fruit and vegetable produce is the main reason of this decision. Besides, dynamic development of potato exports and growth of processing segment are additional factors that force producers to increase the areas.
