The price for potatoes suitable for French fries in Europe has increased to an average of 20.75 euros per 100 kilos, 4.50 euros higher than three weeks ago. PotatoNL is now making a distinction between potatoes delivered from the field, which are priced lower, and those delivered dry from the shed, which are priced higher, with a range of 17.50 to 24 euros per 100 kilos. The processing industry is interested in custodial parties, but long-term custodians are not yet willing to sell, with these lots not expected to be offered until New Year's Eve.
