Austria: Large potatoes becoming a problem

Early potatoes are still widely available in Austria, from all states. That the acreage has increased slightly compared to last year, is now causing clearly higher harvest yields, as the German Agrarmarkt Informations-Gesellschaft (AMI) reports on its website.

Regarding the excessively large potatoes, however, the situation has tightened. Its share is constantly rising, without adequate distribution channels being available. Domestic demand for these potatoes is limited, and due to the lack of skin strength and the potato surplus in Europe, export is hardly an option either.
