Potato System magazine publishes a daily report on the situation in the table potato market. We receive information about prices and harvesting progress from agricultural producers from different regions of Russia.
Low prices for ware potatoes have become a cause of serious concern for farmers throughout the country. Not having received the expected profit this season, many of them look to the future with apprehension.
Today, potato growers, not having the opportunity to store the harvested crop, are forced to sell it at extremely unfavorable prices. But after the New Year holidays, the cost of vegetables traditionally rises.
Agricultural producers call the construction of modern high-tech storage facilities the best way out of the situation. Building storage capacity is costly, but without it, potato production is becoming less and less profitable.
As of November 7, 2022, in Russia, table potatoes in batches of 20 tons or more were sold at prices ranging from 9 to 35 rubles per kilogram.
The minimum cost of tubers was again in the Nizhny Novgorod region (9,00 rubles/kg) and Tatarstan (10,00 rubles/kg). A little more was offered for potatoes in the Sverdlovsk region (12,00 rubles/kg), in the Lipetsk and Bryansk regions (13,00 rubles/kg), in the Republic of Udmurtia (13,25 rubles/kg), in the Rostov region ( 14,00 rubles/kg) and Chuvashia (14,75 rubles/kg).
Slightly more expensive table potatoes were sold in the Leningrad region (15,00 rubles/kg), in the Krasnoyarsk region (15,50 rubles/kg), in the Tambov region and Perm region (16,00 rubles/kg), in the Ulyanovsk ( 16,40 rubles/kg) and Samara (16,50 rubles/kg) regions.
Prices were higher in the Ryazan and Yaroslavl regions (17,00 rubles/kg), in the Tula region (17,50 rubles/kg), in the Astrakhan, Volgograd, Moscow, Orenburg, Saratov and Tver regions, as well as in Karelia (18,00 rubles/kg).
Table potatoes were even more expensive in the Crimea, the Kaluga and Vologda regions (20 rubles/kg), in the Smolensk region (23 rubles/kg) and in the Stavropol region (26 rubles/kg). The price for tubers in the Kursk region approached the maximum price (30 rubles/kg), and in the Republic of Komi the price of potatoes reached the highest level (35 rubles/kg).
