November fresh potato movement typically has the strongest activity for the year due the Thanksgiving Day demand. However, November sales were the smallest total for the month in modern history. U.S. packers shipped nearly 7.6 million hundredweight of fresh potatoes during November. That’s down 231,000 hundredweight from November of 2021. North American Potato News reports all major shipping areas posted reduced movement for the month except the Red River Valley and northeastern Colorado. Red River Valley shipments rose 1.4 percent from one year ago.
