What affects Potatoes prices
US potato prices reflect the size and quality of the crop, demand from fresh, processing, and foodservice buyers, and the cost of storing and moving a bulky commodity. Idaho is the leading producing state, with Washington, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Colorado, Oregon, Maine, and Minnesota also important; heat, drought, excessive rain, frost, and disease affect yields, size profiles, and storage quality. Processing demand for frozen products and chips, export demand, seed and fertilizer costs, irrigation, energy, labor, and refrigerated storage all help shape market conditions.
Most US potatoes are harvested from late summer through fall, with earlier new-crop production beginning in spring and summer in warmer states. The fall crop is placed in storage and supplies much of the fresh and processing market through winter and into the following summer. As stored stocks decline and before the main fall harvest, the market relies more on early new-crop regions and, for some uses, imports from Canada and other suppliers.
