Double-digit spud sales growth in the Northeast, Midwest
Despite higher prices, consumers in the Northeast and Midwest can’t seem to get their fill of Idaho potatoes, reported Mike Krage, retail promotion director-Northeast/Midwest for the Idaho Potato Commission. “We are in our third year of double-digit sales increases within the potato category in our region,” Krage said. “We’re running almost 20 percent up in dollars, even with Idaho having out-of-stock situations this year for the first time in a very long time.”
