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.
Experts note that one of the reasons for the low demand in the wholesale market for borscht potatoes and vegetables was a decrease in purchasing activity on the part of end consumers.
Rising prices for essential goods, along with falling living standards, are forcing people to save. Retail potatoes cost the population more than pasta and some cereals. And many are forced to prefer cheaper food.
As of December 23, 2022, table potatoes in batches of 20 tons or more were sold in Russia at prices ranging from 8 to 23,50 rubles per kilogram.
The lowest cost of tubers was in Buryatia (8,00 rubles/kg) and Kemerovo region (8,33 rubles/kg).
A little more expensive this agricultural product was sold in Tatarstan (12,00 rubles / kg), Kaluga and Sverdlovsk regions, in the republics of Udmurtia (13,00 rubles / kg) and Karachay-Cherkessia, in the Vologda, Nizhny Novgorod, Tver regions and in the Krasnoyarsk Territory (14,00 rubles/kg).
Prices slightly differed in Astrakhan, Bryansk, Ulyanovsk regions, in Kabardino-Balkaria and Perm region (15,00 rubles/kg). And also in the Leningrad, Novgorod regions (16,00 rubles/kg), in the Republic of Komi (17,00 rubles/kg), Kostroma, Ryazan regions and in the Republic of Mari El (18,00 rubles/kg).
Prices for tubers were slightly higher in the Krasnodar Territory, Kursk Region, Chuvashia (19,00 RUB/kg) and Stavropol Territory (20,00 RUB/kg).
The most expensive table potatoes were sold in Moscow (20,67 rubles/kg) and Rostov (23,50 rubles/kg) regions.
