Comment: The recent improvement in the weather has allowed growers to resume digging in most areas. However, progress remains very slow due to the underlying wet conditions. Farmgate prices continue to remain steady. However, those supplying the wholesale market need to be aware that any further lowering of prices will not increase overall sales. Sales for Golden Wonder and Kerrs Pink are reported as positive, with production figures for the former similar to last year, while Kerrs Pink are back by up to 10%.With stocks of Queens lower than last year, this has also helped this more niche market. More growers are beginning to supply the peeling market, with Rooster commanding between €160/t and €200/t depending on quality, etc.
