The supply of raw materials in the southern and central regions has continued to increase compared to the previous week, while potato prices in the southern and central regions have fluctuated and fallen, while prices in the northern region remain stable; At present, the average production time per week in starch factories is 4.0 days (+0.2 days compared to last week); The purchase prices for fresh potato raw materials are as follows: 3000-3100 VND/kg in the southern region (-150 VND/KG compared to last week, with local potatoes at a 30% reduction in flour content), 2900-3000 VND/kg in the central region (-150 VND/KG compared to last week, with a 30% reduction in flour content), and there are not many factories operating in the northern region. Potato prices are not stable and will not be quoted temporarily.
