Potatoes, 2000 Summary This publication presents final 2000 potato estimates of acreage, yield per acre, production, farmdisposition, season average price, value, and utilization of sales including processing withhistoric comparisons. Also included are first of the month stocks of potatoes (Decemberthrough June) for the 15 major fall producing States. Production, disposition, and value data forAlaska are shown separately.

These final estimates are based on information furnished by crop reporters, processors, andcooperating State or Federal Agencies. The various sources include: Market News Service railand truck shipments, Federal-State inspections, and miscellaneous data available throughmarketing programs.

Price estimates represent average returns to growers for all uses and for all methods of sale,including the value paid for a government diversion program. These prices are applied to totalproduction 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 Stateprices by quantities sold.

Potato production, utilization, and value of sales in each State have been classified by seasonalgroup according to the period (quarter) when the largest supplies are harvested.

The four seasonal groups are as follows:

Season Usual Time of Harvest

Winter January through March Spring April through June Summer July to Mid-September Fall September through November

A crop year is associated with the calendar year in which harvest is accomplished. Seasons arenot fixed dates but are approximations because of overlapping of harvest before or after thespecified season. Generally, the marketing season closely follows harvest except for fallpotatoes when marketing from storage may extend through August of the following year. Thus,the marketing year for fall potatoes is from the start of harvest through August of the followingyear.

Program changes in 2000 combined Alabama’s spring production with their summer production,North Carolina’s summer potatoes were combined into their spring crop, and Nebraska’ssummer potatoes were combined with their fall crop. The Iowa potato estimates were droppedfrom the summer program and the Wyoming estimates were dropped from the fall program. Kansas’ production, recently on the increase, was added to the summer estimates. Thesechanges were used to arrive at comparable percentages.

Record High Potato Production; Value Drops 6 Percent Total 2000 potato production is estimated at 514 million cwt, up 7 percent from 1999, and3 percent above the previous record high in 1996. Harvested area, at 1.35 million acres, gained1 percent from 1999. The average yield of 381 cwt per acre was a record high, up 22 cwt from1999. By season, winter production jumped 22 percent, and for comparable States, summergained 5 percent, and fall was up 8 percent, while spring production fell 13 percent.

Summer potato production was revised to 19.2 million cwt for 2000, up 5 percent from 1999 forcomparable States. Harvested area, at 63,200 acres, was down 2 percent from 1999. Theaverage 2000 yield of 304 cwt per acre was a record high for summer potatoes and 11 cwt abovethe previous year for comparable States.

Fall potatoes were finalized at a record high 468 million cwt for 2000, up 8 percent from a yearago for comparable States. Area harvested in 1999 was estimated at 1.19 million acres, up2 percent from 1999. The average yield, at 392 cwt per acre, was a record high, up 23 cwt froma year ago. Final production of fall potatoes was 1 percent below the Annual Crop Summary inJanuary but 1 percent above the first forecast made in November 2000.

Value of all potato production in 2000 was estimated at $2.59 billion, down 6 percent from theprevious year. The average price, at $5.08 per cwt, fell 69 cents from a year earlier.

Sales from the 2000 potato crop totaled 465 million cwt, up 6 percent from 1999. Salesaccounted for 90 percent of 2000 production. Non sales accounted for 49.0 million cwt of 2000crop potatoes, up 19 percent from last year. Over the past five years, 91 percent of the potatoesgrown have been sold. The other 9 percent were either lost (shrinkage and loss) or used onfarms where grown (seed, home use, and livestock feed).

Processors used 288 million cwt of raw potatoes from the 2000 crop, up 5 percent from 1999. Table stock sales totaled 139 million cwt, 3 percent above last year. Seed sales of 23.6 millioncwt were down 7 percent. Sales for livestock feed, at 10.1 million cwt, was more than triple ayear earlier, mainly because of a government diversion program that bought 6.87 million cwt forfeed. The feed category claimed 3.14 million cwt in 1999.

Chip potato use totaled 52.4 million cwt, down 1 percent from a year ago. Frozen french friesand other frozen products utilized 174 million cwt of raw potatoes, up 6 percent. Potatoes usedfor dehydrating totaled 54.9 million cwt, a gain of 8 percent. Canning use, at 5.41 million cwt,declined 5 percent. Starch, flour and other products were made from 1.81 million cwt ofpotatoes, up 38 percent from last year.

Shrinkage and loss was estimated at 43.7 million cwt, up 23 percent from last year. Livestockfeed on potato farms and home use totaled 1.47 million cwt, an increase of 28 percent. Growerskept 3.82 million cwt for seed on their own farms, down 14 percent from a year earlier.
