by Newsbreak producer, Tashlan Naidoo - Potatoes South Africa says while potato prices are likely to increase in the next month or two, it will be short lived. This is due to a five day black frost experienced in Limpopo province, South Africa's largest producer of the crop. According to Potatoes SA CEO, Willie Jacobs, this was the longest period of black frost in almost a decade. While some crops were completely decimated, assessments are still ongoing and Jacobs says a potato shortage is not likely as new crops are being farmed
