Potato, a favorite vegetable of the French, could experience a shortage this year because of the exceptional drought that hit Europe this summer.
The French National Union of Potato Producers estimates that nearly 1.5 million tonnes of potato could be lost on French soil this year, with a loss of around 250 million euros.
According to data released in August 2021 by EuroStat, France was the third-largest producer of potatoes in Europe in 2020, which accounted for 15.7 percent of EU production.
