Price of Potatoes - How Much Do They Cost?

In March 2026, potato prices in the UK have plunged sharply due to a surplus from an abundant 2025 harvest. The finest free-buy Maris Piper potatoes now fetch around £180 per ton, a significant drop from roughly £400 per ton just a year ago. This decrease mirrors widespread oversupply challenges across Europe. In north-western Europe, prices for processing potatoes slipped to between €175 and €270 per metric ton (approximately £148-£228 per ton), reflecting a weekly decline of 16-20%.

Contract values for the 2026/27 season have also dipped, with forecasts suggesting reductions of up to 20% in Northern Europe. UK production is estimated at about 4.84 million tonnes, nearly matching the anticipated demand of 5 million tonnes. Retail sales have picked up somewhat as customers respond to cheaper prices. Yet, free-buy growers continue to struggle with falling quality and costly production. Meanwhile, European futures for April 2026 stand at €17 per 100kg (£14.40 per 100kg), the lowest level in four years, signaling ongoing pressure into the new season.

Purchase of potatoes

In early 2026, UK potato prices experienced a steep fall. By February 6, they traded at €4.90 per 100 kilograms-a 24.62% drop from the previous month and an 85.80% plunge compared to the same period last year. This sharp decline stems from market oversupply, which dampened demand and pushed prices down. For instance, Maris Piper potatoes are now priced around £180 per tonne, far below the approximate £400 per tonne recorded in 2025. These price swings reflect influences from weather conditions, crop yields, and shifting market dynamics impacting the UK potato sector.
