The French starch potato sector is in crisis due to the combined effects of the post-Covid recovery and climate change, leading to a 28% decrease in production and concerns about the future of the industry.

While surface areas have already decreased by 12% in 2022, 2023 will see an additional 15% decrease with 2,500 hectares less! Less surface area equals less volume for ...
