New Zealand Potato production in 2013, at 525,000 metric tons, was marginally (5%) ahead of 2012 production. Tomato Potato Pysllid is still causing damage and increased costs for control. Integrated Pest Management and mesh covering hold considerable promise for efficient control of the pest. Exports in 2013 bounced back up to reach 100,967 metric tons (MT), nearly 15% ahead of 2012. So far for 2014 exports are on a par with 2013 with no significant change to product mix.
