China: Good Weather Boosts Struggling Potato Industry

In marketing year 2019/20, potato farmers in China are expected to reap a bumper harvest, with fresh potato production increasing by 5 percent year on year. Favorable weather in key growing regions will boost China’s processed potato production, particularly in the fast-growing area of frozen french fries. China’s additional tariffs on U.S. processed potato products will result in decreased imports of frozen french fries. While the United States does not have market access to ship fresh table stock potatoes, it is one of only a few countries eligible to export seed potatoes to China, although commercial shipments have been limited.
