Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fresh or chilled potatoes in Norway fluctuated between 2018 and 2021, starting at 386.3 thousand tons. After a slight dip to 370.0 thousand tons in 2019, consumption surged to 418.8 thousand tons in 2020 before moderating to 409.7 thousand tons in 2021.

Market volume remained stable at 403.4 thousand tons in 2022, as reduced potato consumption among Norwegians—particularly younger consumers shifting to alternatives like pasta and pizza—was offset by other dynamics. Concurrently, sharply increased electricity prices for refrigerated storage affected potato and vegetable producers, influencing their storage decisions. A sharp contraction followed in 2023, with the market falling to 332.9 thousand tons, coinciding with lower total consumer potato stockpiles compared to the prior year and the growing share of retailer own-brand products in the fresh vegetable aisle, indicating heightened vertical integration in the supply chain.
