Pig Market ReportsPotato

Potato Market Report 15th January

Demand and consumption are typical for this time of year. As growers plan their plantings for 2025, the issue of seed continues to be top of the agenda. The 2023 season continues to have an impact on seed supply, not just in Ireland but all across the continent. Given these issues, many growers may be forced into using a proportion of home saved seed and/or growing home saved seed this year.

Across Europe, fresh markets are described as “buoyant”, with good movement over the holiday period. In the U.K. it is reported that demand is very poor in all veg sectors as fresh markets recover from the Multiple promotions over Christmas. In terms of exports, there is still good demand from the Canaries but shipping is a “nightmare”, leading to shortages which have a direct effect on any planned promotions in the multiples or temporary oversupply.
