The United States is sitting on a smaller supply of potatoes compared to this time last year, according to newly released figures from the federal government.
Data published by the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service shows that potato stocks have declined 2 percent as of June 1, 2025, when measured against the same point in the previous year.
The report tracks how much of the potato supply remains in storage, a key indicator for both agricultural producers and the broader food supply chain. A drop in stored stocks can influence prices and availability for consumers and food processors alike.
Officials and industry observers will be watching future reports closely to see whether the downward trend continues through the remainder of the growing and harvest season.
