News on Potato Storage from the Russian Federation

In the Russian potato market, the upward trend in prices continues, and they just reached a record level over the past few years, analysts of the EastFruit project report.

A USD 30 million warehouse for potato storage was built in the Industrial and Logistic Park of Novosibirsk Oblast (Russia) to supply the potato chips plant, which is currently under construction.

Together with a leading processor a greenfield project was developed in Russia, where Tolsma-Grisnich will supply potato receiving, handling and storage equipment.

In the first nine months of this year, Russia exported 254,8 thousand tons of potatoes (food and seed), which is almost 36% more than in the same period last year.

In Russia, potatoes have hit record high prices due to supplies being imported and a lack of vegetable storage.
