Potato exports from the US have continued to recover but remain behind previous year levels, according to a recent report.
Exports for the first six months of the marketing year, July – December 2020, are lower than the record levels set in 2019. However, exports for October, November, and December are far better than they were in the July – September period.
Fresh potato exports, made up of table-stock and chip-stock, were down by 3 per cent for those six months, but exports to the main target markets were up by 6 per cent.
