China: China's Frozen French Fries Production Expands

China’s marketing year (MY) 2021/22 fresh potato production is forecast at 94 million metric tons (MMT), a 5 percent decrease over MY2020/21 primarily due to decreased acreage. China’s MY2021/22 frozen French fries (FFF) production is forecast higher by 20 percent at 420,000 metric tons (MT) in response to international logistics disruptions that led to lower imports and increased export demand by China's neighbors. China’s MY2021/22 FFF imports are forecast higher by 5 percent at 84,000 MT assuming international logistics improve by the middle of calendar year 2022.
