United Potato Growers LogoUnited Potato Growers of America is a federated farmers cooperative that  focuses on managing national potato supply so as to positively affect grower economic success. It is through United membership that potato growers are empowered to better understand and act upon demand for their product.
Promotional activity remained close to the levels from last year over the last few weeks. Growers will need to work with shippers to reach out to retailers that traditionally depend on Florida potatoes for March promotions in order to maintain promotional levels going forward.

Given the catastrophic weather earlier this winter in Florida, Florida supplies will be well below normal until early April. Growers and shippers from other regions need to reach out to the retailers traditionally served by Florida in order to make sure that previously planned promotions will not be cancelled to avoid lower consumer purchases and demand.
