New Potato Products Help Hold Markets Against Competition
New potato products and distribution methods aid market stability against rival foods. Chips, frozen fries, pre peeled potatoes and consumer packed potatoes, plus advertising, support growers. Grading and labeling publicize Idaho and Iowa potatoes in hopes of reversing three decades of declining consumption. Chips account for about 9 percent of potatoes used, 22 million bushels in 1950, over 80 percent of processed potatoes, a $200 million business. Pre peeled potatoes treated to prevent darkening are widely accepted by restaurants and institutions.
