There is a difference between supply and demand in consuming potatoes compared to the domestic market. Less demand but high production.It is not too popular in the domestic market. Foreign markets are more beautiful. We use nearly 80 workers a day. Right now, we have the same as Otolia, Marabel, Madeleine in our field. We plant Arizona varieties for export. We planted Mineleine as a goal in the domestic market. We have the same 'jelly' like industry. This year, a bit dry. It was hot in the weather. This reduces our output a bit. Farmer production should make planting as planned. Let the planting under the contract. Because there is no market, planting trees is a burden for farmers. Finding the market first, then Eclas, he said.
