Australia sees oversupply of potatoes

An oversupply of potatoes in the northern states is driving down potato prices in Australia.

Peak industry body AusVeg expects the oversupply could last into the new year, and says it's a great opportunity for consumers to buy potatoes at a low price.

Les Horsfield has been growing and selling potatoes at Thorpdale in Victoria for more than 45 years.
He says there are too many potatoes coming out of Queensland, and that'll drive down demand for Victorian brush potatoes when they begin harvest next month.
