The North-Western European Potato Growers group estimates potato plantings in its member countries rose 0.4% from 2017 and 6.7% above the five-year average. It also expects yields to fall about 4% below the five-year average, and stocks are reported to remain high.
Higher planted area and high stocks point to ample supply, while the expected yield shortfall and processing demand may firm prices for better-quality potatoes. Potatoes are not a feed commodity in this list, so the direct feed price effect is minimal.
After 2,447 past report events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.5% to +1.8%), and +0.2% over 20.
