Ireland potato farmers unable to complete planting
Farmer's Weekly
|May 03, 2024
Irish potato farmers have reported a delay in harvest and said that the UK might have to prepare for shortages of the produce. The shortfall is due to extreme wet weather during their planting season.
-
According to the Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA), farmers usually have planted about 70% of their crop by March. In mid-April the association said: “Even in the best-case scenario it will not be possible to plant potato seed for at least 10 days, even if it were to dry up tomorrow.”
For these reasons the IFA said that there would be potato shortages in November as this is when the first crop should have been harvested.
