An impressive 0.4% of the entire U.S. workforce relies on the potato industry for their livelihoods, contributing $53 million towards annual GDP growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably farm production itself makes up approximately 10 percent ($10.8 billion) of the total economic contribution of the potato supply chain, underscoring the significance of largely family-owned potato farms as rural job creators and wealth generators throughout the U.S. economy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot only are potatoes an essential and healthy component in our diet, but now we can say unequivocally that they are vital to the American economy,\u201d said RJ Andrus, from TBR Farm in Idaho Fall, Idaho, and incoming President of the National Potato Council. \u201cPotatoes are an essential component to our prosperity as a nation, built and sustained by America\u2019s potato growers, who put people to work in every city and town across our great country. Today\u2019s report cements the fact that potatoes are America\u2019s favorite vegetable with value.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This report demonstrates that potatoes not only provide high-quality nutrients but are a driver of America&#8217;s economic prosperity, including direct economic activity (growing, processing, and retail) and the creation of jobs throughout the country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. potato supply chain entails a wide spectrum of activity, from agricultural production, through wholesaling and processing and distribution ending with consumer purchases of final products through retail channels or through food service providers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. is the world\u2019s fifth largest producer of potatoes. A critical export product, approximately 20 percent of all potatoes grown or processed in the United States are exported to Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, and other trading partners. In 2021 alone, the value of all potato-related exports (fresh, processed, and dehydrated) topped $1.88 billion in sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Potatoes are the number one consumed vegetable by U.S. consumers annually. Not only are potatoes an inexpensive source of nutrition, they are fat-free, gluten-free, plant-based, and a quality carbohydrate. Additionally, potatoes are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>An excellent source of vitamin C<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A good source of potassium (more than a banana)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A good source of vitamin B6<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And contain only 110 calories per 5.3oz serving.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>NPC is the voice of U.S. potato growers and industry members in our nation\u2019s capital. NPC protects potato growers\u2019 interests in Washington, D.C. by addressing issues that affect the potato industry, from policy issues debated in Congress to regulatory issues proposed by federal agencies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The release coincides with NPC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalpotatocouncil.org\/2023-npc-washington-summit\/\">2023 Washington Summit<\/a>, a forum for potato industry members to discuss, define, and advocate for the policy priorities impacting their businesses and protecting their ability to farm. From Feb. 28-March 3, growers and industry stakeholders will take the results from this groundbreaking report to Members of Congress and the Biden-Harris Administration to advocate for issues such as keeping potatoes in federal nutrition programs, promoting free and fair-trade agreements, and protecting tax policies that support the long-term health of family-owned farming operations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>About the National Potato Council&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The National Potato Council represents the interests of U.S. potato growers on federal legislative, regulatory, environmental and trade issues.
