AMI: German organic potato growers harvest earlier

AMI have reported about the present situation on the organic potato market. The organic potatoes, which do not satisfy the quality demands, are sometimes sold below the price. In addition to German organic potatoes a lot of Austrian organic potatoes are sold in the country as well.
 
The price of organic potatoes have remained stable. Although some parties on the market expect that they will still be adjusted downwards at the end of August. This expectation is carried by an increase in supply which is expected in the coming weeks. Since the grain harvest is finished in many areas many growers will now concentrate on potatoes. The potatoes already harvested are not always of an acceptable quality. Some growers complain about 'Rhizoctonia' solani. Many growers out of necessity, in order to limit the risk, harvest prematurely.
