“On behalf of the National Potato Council, we extend our congratulations to President-elect Trump and the new Congress. We look forward to working with the administration and leaders in the House and Senate to achieve the priorities of America’s potato growers,” said Bob Mattive, NPC President and potato grower from Colorado. “The U.S. potato industry generates over $100 billion for the U.S. economy each year and supports over 700,000 domestic jobs. In the interest of making those benefits even larger in the future, the National Potato Council is excited to work with these elected officials to advance trade opportunities, protect our family farms, and reinforce the role of potatoes in healthy diets.”
