The Netherlands
Reduced activity on Dutch markets in the past 2 weeks, Peu d’activités sur les marchés hollandais ces 2 dernières semaines, Christmas and New Year celebrations having slowed trade, export and processing. Supply remains (very) limited and prices have not really been challenged. Rather, the trend is up in industial markets, particularly for varieties such as Agria and Markies which are visibly more difficult to get hold of. Export seems to move towards southern Europe (Spain and Greece).

France
Firm market at the end of the year, with stable prices mainly around 25,00 €/qt for Bintje and Fontane, up to 27,00 even 29,00 €/qt for more « precious » varieties such as Markies, Agria or Innovator. The export market lacks dynamism (exept for better qualities), with prices very much challenged given the German competition for Italy.

Germany
Quiet start to the year in the markets, without any changes in prices. Last weeks’ cold weather allows for good storage, including the for loose batches (incl. For varieties destined for the fresh market). Fresh market: firm prices. The waxy is at 19,17 €/qt (+0,9%) and the mainly waxy and floury is at arround 17,88 €/qt (+0,3%). Prices are stable but firm in the processing market: between 23,00 and 25,00 /qt.
Organic potato market: average prices vary between 64,00 and 70,00 €/qt. Very firm market. It would appear that the 2016-2017 season will be shorter than usual due to the lack of availibility as a result of lower yields and high defects.
