Piracicaba, 09 – Potato prices (ágata variety) practically remained the same at wholesale in São Paulo state from April 29th to May 3rd, closing at BRL 165.13 per bag of 50 kilograms (-1.86%). Early last week, supply was smaller due to rain mainly in the South of Brazil. In addition, some producers from Guarapuava (Paraná estate) and Água Doce (Rio Grande do Sul state) did not pick large volumes. On Tuesday (April 30th), wholesalers reported not having received asterix potatoes and therefore, the variety reached BRL 260.00 per bag. Even in this scenario, potato prices tend to be the same this week.
