Bumper harvest has made potatoes as cheap as chips
The Daily Telegraph reports that trade magazine The Grocer found potato prices have fallen dramatically as a result of a massive oversupply caused by increased planting. The retail price of a kilo of loose new potatoes in the big four supermarkets - Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons - is now 7.6 per cent cheaper than last year at £1.21.
