There is a huge difference in potato prices between Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, which has already led to an increase in potato purchases in Tajikistan for exports to Uzbekistan. Despite the fact that market participants expected an increase in potato prices in Tajikistan, they remained at the same level this week.
Potatoes can still be bought at wholesale in Tajikistan at $0.27 per kg, while domestic wholesale prices for potatoes in Uzbekistan are $0.20 higher and reach $0.47 per kg. By the way, this almost corresponds to the average wholesale price for potatoes in Russia, which usually exports them to Uzbekistan during this period.
