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.
For agricultural holdings, established ties with regular buyers of their products have become a real salvation in this difficult season. Working from year to year with federal retail chains, such farms, in fact, grow part of the crop on order.
Retailers purchase potatoes at prices much higher than in the wholesale market, where the conditions are dictated by resellers. But the requirements for the product are much more stringent, often unfeasible for small producers.
As of December 21, 2022, table potatoes in batches of 20 tons or more were sold in Russia at a price of 8,25 to 32 rubles per kilogram.
The lowest prices were recorded in the Kemerovo region (8,25 rubles/kg) and Udmurtia (10,00 rubles/kg). Slightly more expensive tubers were sold in Kaluga, Sverdlovsk (13,00 rubles/kg), Vologda, Nizhny Novgorod, Tver regions, Karachay-Cherkessia and Krasnoyarsk Territory (14,00 rubles/kg).
The cost of potatoes was higher in the Astrakhan, Bryansk, Ulyanovsk, Chelyabinsk regions and in the Perm region (15,00 rubles/kg). And also in the republics of Chuvashia (16,00 rubles/kg), Mari El (16,50 rubles/kg) and Komi (17,00 rubles/kg), in Kostroma, Ryazan (18,00 rubles/kg ), Novgorod (18,50 rubles/kg) and Kursk (18,75 rubles/kg) regions.
Even more expensive was the sale of tubers in the Moscow region, Krasnodar, Stavropol Territories (20,00 rubles/kg) and in Moscow (25,00 rubles/kg). And the maximum prices for table potatoes were in the Rostov region (32,00 rubles/kg).
