Also included are first of the month potato stocks (December, February, April, and June) for the 13 potato producing States. Percent of acreage planted by type, and certified seed acres are also included for selected States. These estimates are based on information furnished by producers, processors, and cooperating State or Federal Agencies. The various sources include: Market News Service rail and truck shipments, Federal-State inspections, and miscellaneous data available through marketing programs. Price estimates represent average returns to growers for all uses and for all methods of sale. These prices are applied to total production to compute value of production, and to the quantity sold to compute value of sales. Some unsold potatoes contribute to the value of production, including farm use for seed, feed, home use, and loss. The United States season average price is obtained by weighting State prices by quantities sold. A crop year is associated with the calendar year in which harvest is accomplished. Generally, the marketing season closely follows harvest except for fall harvested potatoes, when marketing from storage may extend through August of the following year. 2023 Potato Production Up 9 Percent All potato production in 2023 totaled 440 million cwt, up 9 percent from the 2022 crop. Harvested area, at 961,100 acres, was up 5 percent from 2022. The average yield of 458 cwt per acre was up 20 cwt from the previous year. The value of all potatoes sold in 2023, at $5.00 billion, increased 3 percent from the previous year. The average price, at $12.30 per cwt, was down $0.60 from 2022. The quantity of potatoes sold from the 2023 crop totaled 406 million cwt, up 8 percent from 2022. Quantity sold accounted for 92 percent of 2023 production, down 2 percent from the previous year. Growers from the 13 estimating States sold 284 million cwt of raw potatoes to processors from the 2023 crop, up 7 percent from 2022. Table stock sales totaled 99.6 million cwt, up 9 percent from last season. Seed sales of 21.4 million cwt for 2023 were up 17 percent from 2022. Sales for livestock feed, at 1.57 million cwt for 2023 were up 67 percent from 2022. Shrinkage and loss was estimated at 28.0 million cwt for 2023, up 27 percent from 2022. Growers kept 5.83 million cwt for seed, livestock feed, and home use on their own farms, up 65 percent from 2022. United States potatoes used for processing totaled 287 million cwt, up 3 percent from 2022. Potatoes used for chips and shoestrings totaled 57.8 million cwt, down 7 percent from the previous year. Frozen french fries and other frozen products utilized 176 million cwt of raw potatoes, up 4 percent from 2022. Potatoes used for dehydrating totaled 42.7 million cwt, up 13 percent from 2022. Canning use, at 1.85 million cwt, was up 6 percent from the previous year. Other products made from potatoes utilized 8.39 million cwt of potatoes, a 2 percent increase from 2022.

Potatoes are included in the June and December Quarterly Agricultural Surveys, but also follow Grower Special Surveys. Special grower disposition surveys are conducted at the end of each season to provide additional details about the crop. Telephone follow-up of mail survey non-respondents is used to ensure adequate coverage. Estimating Procedures: Information obtained from the special grower disposition surveys and federal administrative data is used to establish estimates of acreage, production, amount sold, and usage on farm where grown. These estimates are reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates. Revision Policy: All estimates for the previous crop year can be revised at this time. End-of-season estimates of production are made following harvest and are subject to revision the following year based on a thorough review of all available data. Reliability: Survey results are subject to non-sampling errors such as omission, duplication, imputation for missing data, and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. These errors cannot be measured directly, but they are minimized through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
