In the domestic market of the country, the wholesale price for potatoes from North Africa was about $1-1.2/kg, they are bought and sold at retail mainly by supermarket chains (not discounters). They usually offer potatoes in 1kg plastic trays and flow packs at a price of 30-35 MDL/kg ($1.67-1.95/kg). The retail price for the freshest Romanian potatoes reaches 40 MDL/kg ($2.24/kg). According to market operators, early imported potatoes became available about a week later last year and cost a little less than $1/kg in small wholesale, i.e. A wholesale price of 14-15 MDL/kg ($0.78-0.84/kg) can be considered suitable for farmers-sellers at that moment.
