The Dutch seed potato sector has seen a significant decrease in exports for the 2023 harvest, with figures showing a 140,000 ton drop to 578,000 tons by May 31, compared to the same period last year. This decline is largely due to reduced exports to Asia and Africa, with over 40,000 tons and more than 60,000 tons less seed potatoes shipped to these continents, respectively. Despite these setbacks, European sales have remained robust, accounting for 67% of total exports, with Spain and Italy experiencing an increase in purchases. Meanwhile, other European countries, including Belgium, France, and Germany, have ordered less seed potatoes, although there is an anticipated expansion in the consumption of potatoes in France and Germany. The Dutch Potato Organization (NAO) anticipates releasing the final export figures for the 2023 harvest in the near future.

Usually, seed potato exports continue to trickle a bit in June, but large export volumes are no longer expected. The smaller exports are mainly due to destinations in Asia and Africa. This was already observed in previous months and is a result of the limited availability after a smaller harvest and the higher market prices for seed potatoes. It now also appears that sales of Dutch seed potatoes in Europe are lagging behind, but proportionately this decline is less than for overseas destinations. The share of sales in Europe this season will even increase from 60 to 67 percent compared to the export of the 2022 harvest.
