Belgium: Potato association to provide more pricing info

Belgapom, the association of the Belgian potato trade and processing industry, has through its price committee since 2000 every week quoted the Belgian free market price for potatoes of the Bintje variety for storage potatoes and for various varieties of early potatoes. In addition, the market sentiment was indicated. In the meantime, the Belgapom quotation has developed worldwide into an important indicator of the evolution of the free potato market destined for the frozen fries sector in Belgium. Starting from the 2016 – 2017 season, the Belgapom quotation will be made up of three parts, each supplemented by their own market sentiment: Bintje, Challenger and Fontane.
