Potato sales for U.S. growers pose interesting questions. Eighteen percent of the crop is exported, but statistics on domestic potato consumption create a mystery, according to Mike Carter, co-chair of the domestic marketing committee for the U.S. Potato Board and a member of the board’s executive committee. Carter, who is also the chief executive officer of Bushmans’ Inc., located in Rosholt, WI, said that “overall meal occasions” for U.S. consumers to use potatoes have gone up, but domestic consumption “by volume is down [and] that is counter-intuitive.”
