Belpotato.be has issued a press release outlining key points of attention for potato growers when concluding delivery contracts, as the sector continues to face pressure from challenging market conditions.

Growers who can no longer sell their surplus potatoes anywhere now have the option to dump their potatoes on their fields via a raw material declaration. They can register via the website of Boerenbond, which obtained the declaration for all Flemish growers.

La campaña europea de patata 2025 arranca con mercados saturados, precios en mínimos históricos y una industria debilitada, lo que pone en riesgo la sostenibilidad del sector y exige priorizar calidad, cumplimiento de contratos y cooperación en toda la cadena.

Belpotato.be is surprised to learn of the proposals from some potato buyers, whereby they unilaterally reduce the contracted quantities from the buyer without any form of consultation in already signed contracts. This is unacceptable.
