The Federal Statistical Office released figures showing that potato prices have risen for both consumers and producers in Germany. Consumer prices for potatoes increased by 11.3% in September 2026. This rise comes as the 2026 potato harvest is forecast to yield 10.4 million tonnes, which is a 24.8% reduction from the 13.9 million tonnes harvested in 2025. Producer prices for table potatoes saw a sharp increase of 61.5% in August 2026.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The significant drop in the 2026 potato harvest, combined with rising producer prices, suggests that food prices could continue to increase. While consumer prices for processed potato products declined by 4.7% over the same period, fresh and processed potato consumer prices rose by 3.3% overall in September.
