Sweet Potatoes price chart, 1-year history
Sweet Potatoes prices and seasonality
Sweet potatoes are harvested primarily in late summer and fall, with North Carolina a leading source and additional production in California, Mississippi, Louisiana, and other states. Much of the crop is cured and stored, allowing domestic supplies to be marketed through much of the year; imports can also supplement available supply. Wholesale conditions respond to harvest size and quality, storage performance, weather, shipping costs, and the balance between supplies and demand. Terminal-market reports show wholesale prices rather than prices paid by shoppers at retail stores.
