Explained in plain English

Will potato prices soar?

Reduced harvests in England, as anticipated by the Suffolk grower, will likely push up potato and onion prices here. However, global supply and demand also play a significant role. If other major potato-producing countries have good harvests, imports could help stabilise prices, though transport costs would still add to the final bill for consumers.
