Over the past three years, the European potato market, with a focus on Italy, has seen significant fluctuations in production and market dynamics, with 2021-2022 being the only stable year amidst disruptions caused by late frosts and floods. Italian potatoes command the highest market prices, surpassing those from Holland and France, while Germany remains the most economical option despite a 50% price hike in 2023. The 2023-2024 season is looking up, with preserved Italian potatoes exceeding 80 cents per kg and new entries from Sicily and Puglia. However, there's a noted decrease in Cypriot potatoes in the Italian market, an uptick in North African imports, especially from Egypt, and a consistent production of new potatoes from Sicily, which makes up nearly half of Italy's output. Adverse weather has led to a decline in common potato production, increasing imports and reducing exports in 2022, though market value has slightly risen.
