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.
Two weeks before the end of the year, a significant part of the new potato crop has already been purchased by wholesalers. A similar situation developed in previous seasons, because for many reasons it is easier for producers to sell tubers to intermediaries.
However, this time wholesalers are filling vegetable stores with agricultural products purchased at minimal prices. By keeping potatoes until spring, they will be able to sell their goods at a much higher cost. The lion's share of the profits will end up in the pockets of intermediaries, but the agrarians, following the results of a difficult season, will hardly cover their expenses.
As of December 16, 2022, table potatoes in batches of 20 tons or more were sold in Russia at a price of 8 to 30 rubles per kilogram.
The lowest cost of tubers was recorded in the Kemerovo region (8,00 rubles/kg). The price was slightly higher in the republics of Komi, Buryatia and Kabardino-Balkaria, in the Leningrad, Ryazan and Yaroslavl regions (12,00 rubles/kg).
The cost of these products differed minimally in Chuvashia, Tver (13,00 rubles/kg), Irkutsk, Sverdlovsk regions and in Tatarstan (14,00 rubles/kg). A slight difference in price was noted in the Kirov, Ulyanovsk, Chelyabinsk regions and in the Altai Territory (15,00 rubles/kg).
Potatoes were sold even more expensively in the Astrakhan, Volgograd, Moscow regions, in the Krasnodar Territory (16,00 rubles/kg), as well as in the Republic of Mari El and the Kaluga region (17,00 rubles/kg).
Prices were slightly higher in the Kostroma and Penza regions (18,00 rubles/kg), in the Krasnoyarsk Territory (18,33 rubles/kg), in the Kursk, Novgorod, Smolensk regions (18,50 rubles/kg) and Stavropol (18,67 rubles / kg).
Tubers cost a few rubles more in the Ivanovo and Rostov regions (20,00 rubles/kg) and in Moscow (22,50 rubles/kg). And at the maximum price for table potatoes was in the Kaliningrad region (30,00 rubles/kg).
