European potatoes suffer huge losses
The potato farming sector in Europe is facing a severe crisis due to a significant surplus resulting from favorable weather conditions and high costs caused by the war in Iran. This has led to the production of massive quantities, with stockpiles nearing 5 million tons and potato prices in Belgium dropping to zero per metric ton. As a result, farmers have been forced to discard their produce either through resistance or by exporting at low prices, incurring losses amounting to hundreds of thousands of euros. Meanwhile, declining demand and increasing competition from emerging markets threaten the future of the European potato industry, especially in Belgium, which is the world's largest exporter of frozen French fries.
