Potatoes 2010 Summary (September 2011)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Introduction
This publication presents 2010 potato estimates of acreage, yield per acre, production, farm disposition, season average
price, value, and utilization of sales including processing with historic comparisons. Also included are first of the month
potato stocks (December through June) for the 13 major fall potato producing States. Monthly prices, farm marketings,
percent of acreage planted by type, and certified seed acres are also included for selected States. Production, disposition,
and value data for Alaska are shown separately.
These estimates are based on information furnished by crop reporters, 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.
Potato production, utilization, and value of sales in each State have been classified by season according to the period
(quarter) when the largest supplies are harvested.
The four seasons are as follows:
Season
Usual Time of Harvest
Winter
Spring
Summer
Fall
January through March
April through June
July to Mid-September
August through November
A crop year is associated with the calendar year in which harvest is accomplished. Seasons are not fixed dates but are
approximations because of overlapping harvests. Generally, the marketing season closely follows harvest except for fall
potatoes, 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 following year.

2010 Potato Production Down 7 Percent
Potato production in 2010 is revised to 404 million cwt, up 2 percent from the estimate in the January Crop Production
2010 Summary but 7 percent below the 2009 crop. Harvested area, at 1.01 million acres, is down 3 percent from 2009.
The average yield of 401 cwt per acre is down 13 cwt from last year’s record high.
Spring potato final production for 2010 is 24.8 million cwt, 16 percent above the previous year. Harvested acres, at
85,800 acres, increased 16 percent from 2009. The average yield for spring potatoes is 289 cwt per acre, unchanged from
2009. Summer potato production is 13.0 million cwt for 2010, a 17 percent decrease from 2009. Harvested area, at
40,400 acres, is down 9 percent from 2009. The average yield of 321 cwt per acre is down 30 cwt from 2009. Fall potato
production is finalized at 367 million cwt for 2010, down 7 percent from the 2009 crop. Area harvested in 2010 is
881,800 acres, down 4 percent from the previous year. The average fall potato yield, at 416 cwt per acre, decreased 13 cwt
from 2009.
The value of all potatoes sold in 2010, at $3.45 billion, increased 5 percent from the previous year. The average price, at
$9.20 per cwt, is up $0.95 from 2009. The quantity of potatoes sold from the 2010 crop totaled 375 million cwt, down
6 percent from 2009. Sales account for 93 percent of 2010 production, up 1 percent from the previous year.
Processors used 246 million cwt of raw potatoes from the 2010 crop, down 4 percent from 2009. Table stock sales totaled
107 million cwt, 8 percent below the previous year. Seed sales of 20.6 million cwt are up 2 percent from 2009. Sales for
livestock feed, at 593,000 cwt, decreased significantly from 2009.
Potatoes used for chips and shoestrings totaled 54.7 million cwt in 2010, up 29 percent from the previous year. Frozen
french fries and other frozen products utilized 149 million cwt of raw potatoes, down 7 percent from 2009. Potatoes used
for dehydrating totaled 34.1 million cwt, down 23 percent from 2009. Canning use, at 2.35 million cwt, is down
14 percent from the previous year. Starch, flour, and other products were made from 6.36 million cwt of potatoes, a
2 percent decrease from 2009.
Shrinkage and loss is estimated at 25.0 million cwt for 2010, 14 percent below 2009. Potatoes used for livestock feed on
farms where grown and home use totaled 1.22 million cwt, 2 percent above the previous season. Growers kept
3.00 million cwt for seed on their own farms, 10 percent lower than a year earlier.

Statistical Methodology
Survey Procedures: Potato estimates are the results of a variety of surveys. Summer and fall potatoes are included in the
June and December Quarterly Agricultural Surveys, but also follow Grower Special Surveys. For winter and spring
potatoes, Grower Special Surveys are the only source of data available. Telephone follow-up of mail survey nonrespondents is used to ensure adequate coverage. Special grower disposition surveys are conducted at the end of each
season to provide additional details about the crop.
Estimating Procedures: Information obtained from the special grower disposition surveys along with 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. However, acreage is rarely updated.
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.
