PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Retail volume sales will struggle as supply chain shortages are expected to persist
Retail volume sales of starchy roots are expected to continue their downward trend over the forecast period due to the pessimistic outlook for potatoes. The primary factors contributing to this decline include unexpected weather events that have adversely affected crop yields, the exit of some farmers from the market, escalating production costs, and a shortage of labour.
“Imperfect” potatoes can help balance the tighter supply
The outlook for potatoes in the UK remains challenging as climate change threatens the stability of the supply chain and food security. The National Farmers' Union (NFU) warns that adverse weather conditions, higher production costs, and trade imbalances are jeopardising domestic supply, calling for political action as business confidence falters and investments are discouraged.
