"Exports bring relief, but they are not a permanent solution"
"This year, exports had an earlier start than anticipated and we believe the period will last longer than in previous years. Demand has increased and this has consequently had a good impact on overseas trade. Large-scale exports kicked off in March with a fast pace of shipments, thus offsetting to some extent the current difficulties we have in the domestic market. We expect the domestic value of potatoes to be driven by these exports," affirmed the spokesperson.
The Argentinian Government, aware of this situation, took preventive measures, but its management was mainly beneficial for the industrial sectors, failing to reach the fresh sector. Even though the situation could be reversed and producers may receive a fair price for their products, it is still too early to offer an accurate prognosis. Exports are bringing relief, but they are not a permanent solution. The value of the tuber is expected to normalise again in the coming months.
