じゃがいもの下の面積拡大に疑問

The Northwest European Potato Growers Association (NEPG) expects that only limited space will be left in the EU4 countries for growing potatoes in a larger area during the coming growing season. This is so, despite the growing demand, in particular, for fried potatoes.
欧州生産者協会は、オランダとベルギーではジャガイモを栽培する余地がほとんどないと指摘しています。 ジャガイモの拡大は、新しい共通農業政策の追加の緑化要件と窒素政策に関連する制限により、特に困難になります。 より多くのフライドポテトを生産することは、デンプンと種子の生産者が新しい成長目標を選択した場合にのみ可能です.

In a press release on the development of potato cultivation, in particular in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France, NEPG says that, given the positive mood in the potato market, an area expansion of a few percent is usually evident. However, for potato growing areas in France and Germany, higher production of French fries must also be provided by table potato producers who are switching to other production.

For these two countries, the NEPG takes into account that not all arable areas are suitable for intensive potato production due to limited irrigation opportunities during periods of drought. In addition, for Northern Germany and some regions of France, the transport distance to the manufacturing industry in the Netherlands and Belgium is a significant disadvantage.

その NEPG is also concerned about the decline in seed production in the EU4. The producers’ organization warns that this could create problems with the availability of good source material from spring 2024. It is expected that next season the area under seeding in these countries, as well as in Scotland and Denmark, will be reduced by 5,000 hectares. For various seed producers, growing French fries is more profitable there.

現在、オランダには無料のジャガイモはほとんどありません。 Verenigde Telers Akkerbouw (VTA) の在庫は、自由在庫が昨年より 13% 低く、20 年間の平均より XNUMX% 低いことを示しています。 加工業者が次のシーズンに向けて契約価格を構造的に引き上げた今、より多くのジャガイモ生産者が前もって生産にコミットする準備ができているようです。

その NEPG is scornful of the high coverage of contract potatoes for french fries. The producers’ organization believes that this is ultimately detrimental to the functioning of the free potato market. Especially in years with good yields and therefore oversupply, this can have serious implications for the price formation of the potato market.
