Potato crops in Poland, what are the yields in 2022?

Published Dec 22, 2022

Tridge summary

The Central Statistical Office has reported a 13% decrease in potato crops, estimating the yield at approximately 6.2 million tonnes. This reduction is attributed to varied vegetation conditions throughout the season, including cold spring weather and insufficient rainfall, followed by heavy rainfall in late May. Despite these challenges, the average yield is projected to increase by 2% from last year, reaching 307 dt/ha. However, the potato harvest is expected to show regional and local variations due to differences in agricultural technology and soil conditions.

Potato crops are estimated at approx. 6.2 million tonnes, i.e. less than last year's crops by approx. 13%, according to the Central Statistical Office. Vegetation conditions - from planting to harvesting were varied for potato crops. Cold weather in spring with insufficient rainfall inhibited the growth and development of plants. Rainfall occurring from the second half of May improved the condition of the plantation. Diverse weather conditions in the following months meant that the yield potential of potatoes will not be fully used. Due to the significant shortage of rainfall, uneven distribution, different level of agricultural technology and soil conditions, the condition of the plantation varies. The yield of potato plants will therefore be regionally and even locally differentiated. The area of potato cultivation in 2022 is estimated by the Central ...
