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 potato growers, the outgoing year was associated with very high hopes. First of all, everyone was waiting for high prices for their products, as in the previous season. Therefore, many have increased the area allocated for the cultivation of tubers.
Due to good profits, farmers and agricultural enterprises expected to repay loans, upgrade vehicle fleets, and implement projects to build facilities for processing and storing crops. But the market has made adjustments to the plans of farmers, and now the farms are not counting income, but losses.
As of December 27, 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 cheapest tubers were in the Republic of Buryatia (8,00 rubles/kg) and the Kemerovo region (8,33 rubles/kg).
A few rubles more were given for potatoes in the Irkutsk, Kaluga and Sverdlovsk regions, in the republics of Udmurtia (13,00 rubles / kg), Tatarstan (13,50 rubles / kg) and Karachay-Cherkessia, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Vologda, Nizhny Novgorod (14,00 rubles/kg), Ulyanovsk (14,50 rubles/kg) and Tver (14,67 rubles/kg) regions.
Prices slightly differed in Kabardino-Balkaria, Perm Territory, Astrakhan, Bryansk (15,00 rubles/kg), Volgograd, Leningrad and Novgorod (16,00 rubles/kg) regions.
Slightly more expensive tubers were sold in the Altai Territory, in the Republics of Komi (17,00 rubles/kg) and Mari El, in the Kostroma, Ryazan regions (18,00 rubles/kg) and Chuvashia (18,75 rubles/kg). And also in the Krasnodar region (19,00 rubles/kg) and the Kursk region (19,33 rubles/kg).
