Vegetables and Melons Outlook: December 2003
Total potato production for the 2003 crop year is forecast at 457 million cwt-down less than 1 percent from 2002. Despite the slight drop in production, however, U.S. grower prices for all potatoes have averaged 19 percent below a year ago and 14 percent below 2 years ago for the September - November period. These lower early-season grower prices, combined with lower retail prices for potatoes and frozen french fries, may be a reflection of weaker demand for potatoes and potato products.
