Potato Weekly

27 March 2012

Potato Weekly summarises weekly price information gathered from the Potato Council’s own surveys. The Weekly Average Price Survey (WAPS) provides two overall indexes, the WAPS Index and the WAPS Free-Buy Index. These prices are summarised from returns made each week by contributing merchants covering 40-50% of movements. It is a top-line economic indicator of the potato industry and is also used by the Eurex Potato Futures market as a settlement price for London Potatoes. A weekly compilation based on the Potato Council’s Pricing Panel and from telephone surveys of merchants also provides more detailed high, low and average prices by varieties and market sectors.
