Overview
- Four million kilograms of Agria potatoes are stored south of Leipzig with no buyer after a post-harvest price drop left supply exceeding demand.
- The campaign is recruiting Berlin distribution points such as churches, schools, clubs, and community groups, with applications due January 12.
- Organizers plan to publish pickup locations two days after the deadline to begin moving the stock quickly across the city.
- A portion of the shipment will go to the Berliner Tafel, while substantial volumes still require partners and logistics.
- The potatoes are cleanly sorted and of table quality, and the effort is timed with the 100th Internationale Grüne Woche to spotlight food waste.
