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.
Fierce competition in the market has given wholesale buyers the opportunity to make the highest demands on potatoes.
Today, large-caliber tubers are primarily sold. Therefore, producers from regions where there was no summer drought have a higher chance of selling their products. Dealers are more willing to take vegetables that look clean. In cases where the crop is grown on sandy soils, you can do without washing. But in the black earth regions, where it rained continuously during the harvesting period, the potatoes were dug up with a lot of land. And if such products have not passed the primary processing, it becomes more difficult to sell them.
As of November 24, 2022, table potatoes in batches of 20 tons or more were sold in Russia at prices ranging from 11 to 27,50 rubles per kilogram.
The lowest price was noted in the Altai Territory (11,00 rubles/kg). Slightly more expensive were tubers in Tatarstan (12,00 rubles/kg) and Irkutsk region (13,50 rubles/kg).
A little more was given for potatoes in the Nizhny Novgorod, Omsk, Sverdlovsk regions, in the Republic of Chuvashia (14,00 rubles/kg) and the Ulyanovsk region (14,80 rubles/kg).
Potatoes were sold even more expensively in the Rostov and Smolensk regions and the Perm region (15,00 rubles/kg), in Moscow (15,25 rubles/kg), Leningrad (15,75 rubles/kg) and Novgorod (16,00 rub./kg) areas.
Prices were higher in the Kostroma region and Krasnoyarsk region (17,00 rubles/kg), in the Republic of Mari El, Volgograd, Kirov and Kaliningrad regions, in the Krasnodar region (18,00 rubles/kg) and Astrakhan region (18,50 rub./kg).
The cost of tubers was close to the maximum in Moscow, Stavropol Territory, Yaroslavl (20,00 rubles/kg) and Tula (22,00 rubles/kg) regions.
The most expensive table potato was sold that day in the Kursk region (27,50 rubles/kg).
