There’s been a big shift since the COVID-19 pandemic, said Kent Sutton, whose 375-acre family farm is part of the Rexburg-based Bench Mark cooperative of five potato growers.
Peak potato harvest time drew more than a dozen foodservice and produce professionals from across the country to southeastern Idaho.
The North Carolina Sweetpotato Commission, made up of 400 sweetpotato growers along with packers, processors and business associates, has launched a new e-cookbook titled, "Sweet Celebrations: Hispanic Heritage Month."
The Packer's Fresh Trends 2023 research indicated that 62% of consumers said they purchased potatoes in the past year.
U.S. retail sales of potatoes have grown 16.8% from July 2022 through June 2023, according to a recent Circana report.
