Tassie potato growers urged to adapt
30 Aug 2005
Potato growers and other big-volume producers should seize the opportunity to overhaul their industries while the Tasmanian economy was strong, ANZ Bank’s senior economist Saul Eslake said. Eslake said commodity producers, whether of "potato chips, woodchips or silicon chips", had little hope in world markets unless they could persuade the consumer of a reason to pay more. Potato growers are facing huge losses as contracts are slashed, especially for the russet burbank potatoes grown for chips.
