According to a survey conducted by the Hortifrúti/Brasil team, the average price of special agate potatoes fell last week. In the wholesale market in São Paulo, the price fell by 12.8%, with a 25-kilo bag priced at R$61.14. In Belo Horizonte (MG), the price fell by 18.8%, reaching R$55.08 per bag, while in Rio de Janeiro, the reduction was 8%, with the bag priced at R$61.18. Hortifrúti/Brasil researchers attribute this drop to the high supply in the market. The start of the rainy season in Paraná has generated high productivity in the region's crops, which has contributed to the increase in supply. In addition, the Minas Gerais region continues to harvest potatoes that are "late" due to the rains of the previous weeks, and Chapada Diamantina, in Bahia, has also recorded higher production volumes.

The latest Emater/RS-Ascar Economic Bulletin, released on Thursday (28), brought updated data on the production of sweet potatoes and potatoes in Rio Grande do Sul, with an emphasis on crop development and marketing conditions. In the Passo Fundo region, the potato harvest has already begun in the municipality of Ibiraiaras. Approximately 5% of the cultivated area, which totals 650 hectares, has been harvested so far. According to Emater/RS, the crops are developing normally, and the harvested product has been of good quality. However, the market is facing difficulties due to the large supply of potatoes nationwide, which has put pressure on prices. Currently, producers from Rio Grande do Sul receive, on average, R$70.00 per bag of white potatoes and R$100.00 for pink potatoes, values considered challenging for the sector. Meanwhile, sweet potato production continues at a staggered pace in the administrative region of Lajeado, especially in municipalities
