The Ministry of Agriculture
of Serbia has managed to find a market for the surplus of ware potatoes. About 250 tons of potatoes produced in villages in Western Serbia will end up in supermarkets across the country.
Mr Radosevic, the State Secretary said that supermarkets operating in Serbia had expressed goodwill and that the purchase was going as planned.
The Lidl, Gomex and Delhaize supermarket chains bought the local surpluses. The Ministry of Agriculture is mediating between local producers and retail chains to establish cooperation. A farmer from Western Serbia explained that the previous years had been good, so many people had decided to plant potatoes. The yield was the best last year, but the demand was lower than ever due to the closure of the hospitality sector and restrictive pandemic measures.
