United Potato Growers of America President and CEO Mark Klompien says the industry is shifting from red to yellow potatoes. “We saw that in the Red River Valley in the last crop season. Yellow acres were up about 9.5 percent and red acreage was down four to five percent.” Klompien is seeing that trend also happening in other parts of the country. “The yellow market continues to be very strong and growers are seeing very favorable returns. Because of a lower overall red supply, the red potato prices are good, too.”
