Italy: Sicilian new potato campaign has started

"The Sicilian new potato season has finally started, even if it did it quite slowly as demand was low and warehouses were full with stocks from 2013," says Salvatore Giardina, from F.lli Giardina.



"Of course the difference in price from the old production is also an issue but consumption might grow. At the moment, prices hover between €50 and €55 per quintal."

It seems that production has increased with respect to last year and "things should be better after Easter."

Currently, the company sells 50-60,000 tons of new potatoes per year, which are destined mainly to domestic and foreign retailers in Germany and Belgium in particular.
