Europe is experiencing a potato shortage due to severe summer heatwaves, which have resulted in significant crop losses. The Financial Times reports that nearly 7 million tons of crops have been lost, with prices rising sharply in several countries. Farmers are also concerned about the decrease in tuber size, which could impact the production of fries. The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit estimates that the harvest could be cut by more than 3.5 million tonnes, leading to hundreds of millions of euros in losses.
