EU-28: Potatoes and Potato Products Annual
This year’s production of ware potatoes is expected to be 5 percent lower than the five-year average and down by 15 percent compared to last year, due mainly to lower yields. As a result, EU exports of frozen potato products for MY15/16 are expected to decrease compared to last year. Export opportunities for EU frozen potato products continue to be found in the Middle East, Russia, Latin America and South East Asia. The U.S. and the EU compete heavily in markets like the Philippines, Australia, China, and Malaysia.
