Potato shortage: Himayatek calls for emergency direct sales points

In response to the scarcity of potatoes and rising prices affecting households and restaurants, the Himayatek organization has urged for an emergency response plan. The proposal includes establishing direct sales points in municipalities to connect farmers with consumers and bypass intermediaries. The organization suggests utilizing the public group Agrolog to manage logistics and distribution. Additionally, they propose a temporary compensation mechanism to balance farmers' income with consumer purchasing power while maintaining price caps. Himayatek stresses the importance of product traceability and stricter market controls, requesting an urgent meeting with stakeholders to implement a clear, time-bound action plan.
