Colombia’s DANE reported that capira potato prices rose in all 30 wholesale markets where the variety was sold in October, extending a three-month run of increases. Prices also increased for several other potato varieties and green hartón plantains, while clean creole potatoes fell in 44 of 45 markets; wholesale prices rose across several other food groups, including grains and cereals, dairy and eggs, and meat and fish.
Higher wholesale prices point to tighter availability or stronger demand for several foods and could feed through to consumer prices, though the report does not identify a specific cause.
