'A 30 tonnes contract is no contract at all'

While French potato growers are in the midst of their contract negotiations and area planning for the upcoming season, the producer organization UNPT held its annual congress in Arras. Chairman Geoffroy d'Evry did not mince words: 'A contract that only commits to 30 tons per hectare at a fixed price is not a contract,' he said. 'If there is no intervention in the area, we will see the same market outcome this year.'
