The Europe-wide heatwave has shrunk Belgium's early crop of potatoes by about one-third compared with an average year. Without significant rainfall over the next few weeks, the key September and October harvests could be smaller still.
The heat impacts not only the yield, but the size of the potatoes and the roughness of their skins. If they are too tough, they cannot be handled by the peeling machines used by chip manufacturers.
The price of the bintje potato, the traditional variety used in creating the frite, or frieten, as people say in the Flemish-speaking north of the country where the crisis has most been felt, has already shot up. And it is likely to rise further, turning the cheap Belgian snack into a rather expensive one.
Bernard Lefèvre, the president of Unafri-Navefri, the stallowners' association, told Politico: "It's a subject that is at the heart of our job.
Comment: There is barely a crop or livestock on the planet that isn't being affected by these shifts in seasons and extreme weather patterns:
- "Perfect storm": UK farming crisis as areas suffer worst drought for 225 years
- "A threat to our livelihood": Record drought grips Germany's breadbasket
- Unusually cold winter and spring have Koreans worried about rocketing food costs
- Unprecedented drought in the Korea's kills 29 people, millions of livestock and decimates crops
- 70% crop losses due to extreme weather in Australia
- Italian farmers predict crop shortage because of heavy rains while El Niño causes Peru's grape exports to drop 11%
- Erratic seasons and extreme weather devastating crops around the world
- 'This is a crisis' - Unusually brutal winter doubles farmers' costs and endangers cattle in Montana

Global temperatures are registering 0.32C above the 30 year average so in my opinion it is a full push to control the narrative and keep the CO2 myth going as global crop yields decline and food prices rise. Powers that be don't want you to know that this is a 20 year event of cooling, you may panic and pull your funds out of the banks and markets. The mis-truths will be pushed until the end.
