马铃薯数据、贸易和价格

According to EastFruit’s analysts, citing market participants, last year’s potatoes in the Ukrainian market have experienced a notable price surge over the weekend.

According to EastFruit, the Ukrainian potato market has seen a sharp drop in trade activity.

Since the beginning of the week, potato prices in Ukraine have decreased significantly. The main reason for negative trends in the potato market was the beginning of harvesting in the key production regions and, as a result, an increase in the potato supply.

February 24, 2022 was a turning point for both Ukraine and the rest of the world, since the Russian invasion of Ukraine has undoubtedly turned the normal world order on its head.

En Ucrania, justo antes del Año Nuevo, según los resultados de la auditoría, hicieron un descubrimiento inesperado: prácticamente no quedaban patatas en las instalaciones de almacenamiento.

Ukraine started to import potatoes from Poland, where prices fell sharply due to a significant reduction in consumption by the European foodservice segment.

To support domestic potato growing, the Ministry of Economy plans to ban the import of potatoes from Russia, introduce consultations with the phytosanitary service, and introduce state support for processing.

Despite the fact that potato prices are declining in Ukraine, their reduction so far has not been sufficient to stop the huge flow of Russian imports.

In October, Ukraine imported 92,600 tonnes of potatoes, which exceeds the annual import volume, according to Ukrainian Horticultural Association (UHA).

In 2017, the Ukraine exported 17.6 thousand tonnes of potatoes, 3.5 times more than in 2016

Russia`s temporary blockade imposed on imports of Ukrainian potatoes is unlikely to have a major impact on trade, says analyst.

Russia’s Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor) has issued a temporary import ban on potatoes from neighboring Ukraine.
