Description: Growing, Harvesting and Storing Potatoes
This May, the U.S. potato industry will celebrate one year of full access to the Mexican marketplace for fresh U.S. potatoes. While minor hiccups are always inevitable, we can all cheer a year of mostly successful crossings that restored access to the entire country of Mexico after more than 25 years of disputes and legal obstructions.
The 2022-23 storage crop of all potatoes is down as much as 5% from the previous year, a shortage being most acutely felt in the organic russet potato sector.
In line with its digital transformation and the current circumstances resulting from the pandemic, last November Agrico built an online news platform to support its buyers and growers with important knowledge and information. This platform, Agrico Potatoes, is now live.
