Potato growers should examine the market carefully before planting large acreages this spring, as they tisk oversupplying the market and depressing prices.

 

Last season's poor prices came about as a direct result of over-supply, latest figures from thePotato Councilshow.

As a result of a number of factors, total potato production in 2009 increased by 4.2% with the effect that prices per tonne fell by approximately 13%.

The organisation is urging growers to carefully consider market conditions before embarking on the spring planting campaign.
