Germany: Organic potatoes - supply situation better than expected

After the constant rain and the catastrophic harvest conditions in some regions in the autumn of last year, everyone had assumed there would be no secure supplies this season. The uncertainty as to how long organic potatoes will remain stable in the warehouses also contributed to this uncertainty.

This all has now been normalized. The stored lots are more stable and better than expected and the supply situation has relaxed. The initial concerns about an inability to optimally supply the market have been dispelled. "This brings us closer to our goal of supplying organic potatoes 300 days a year," says Monika Tietke, Managing Director of the Organic Potato Producers Association. And then she adds: "Ultimately, we are also responsible. If we talk about cooperation in partnerships, then we also have to deliver."
