UPDATE: IDAHO POTATOES

March 17, 2021

The Idaho Norkotah potato season is beginning to wind down. Demand for larger sizes is strengthening.  

  • The size profile continues to be dominated by small potatoes (80- to 100-count stocks); large sizes (40- to 70-count supplies) remain tight
  • 80- to 100-count pricing is easing slightly; 40- to 70-count markets are inching up
  • Norkotah stocks are expected to be depleted by mid- to late May
  • As Norkotah supplies continue to diminish and Burbanks become the primary variety, supplies of larger sizes will tighten further and pricing will continue to strengthen
