Ultra-early potatoes appeared in supermarkets of Uzbekistan

Tridge summary

Consumers in the capital of Uzbekistan have started buying the current year's ultra-early potatoes from film greenhouses, but this season's sales have started a month later and at a price that is 1.5 times higher than last year due to abnormal cold in January. The retail price this year is 33,990 sum/kg ($3.0). In contrast, last year, the young potatoes appeared earlier and at a lower price. The anomalous cold observed in Uzbekistan from January 10-16, 2023, with temperatures dropping to minus 13 degrees Celsius during the day and minus 17 degrees at night, caused the delay and increase in price. Favorable weather conditions for planting ultra-early potatoes in the southern regions of Uzbekistan, where these products are usually sourced, were established only at the end of January and the first ten days of February of this year.
