Also included are first of the month potato stocks (December, February, April, and June) for the 13 potato producing States. Percent of acreage planted by type, and certified seed acres are also included for selected States. These estimates are based on information furnished by producers, processors, and cooperating State or Federal Agencies. The various sources include: Market News Service rail and truck shipments, Federal-State inspections, and miscellaneous data available through marketing programs. Price estimates represent average returns to growers for all uses and for all methods of sale. These prices are applied to total production to compute value of production, and to the quantity sold to compute value of sales. Some unsold potatoes contribute to the value of production, including farm use for seed, feed, home use, and loss. The United States season average price is obtained by weighting State prices by quantities sold. A crop year is associated with the calendar year in which harvest is accomplished. Generally, the marketing season closely follows harvest except for fall harvested potatoes, when marketing from storage may extend through August of the following year. 2021 Potato Production Down 2 Percent All potato production in 2021 totaled 410 million cwt, down 2 percent from the 2020 crop. Harvested area, at 923,600 acres, was up 1 percent from 2020. The average yield of 444 cwt per acre was down 17 cwt from the previous year. The value of all potatoes sold in 2021, at $3.91 billion, increased 7 percent from the previous year. The average price, at $10.20 per cwt, was up $0.90 from 2020. The quantity of potatoes sold from the 2021 crop totaled 383 million cwt, down 2 percent from 2020. Quantity sold accounted for 93 percent of 2021 production, unchanged from the previous year. Growers from the 13 estimating States sold 268 million cwt of raw potatoes to processors from the 2021 crop, down 1 percent from 2020. Table stock sales totaled 94.4 million cwt, down 7 percent from last season. Seed sales of 19.1 million cwt for 2021 were down 1 percent from 2020. Sales for livestock feed, at 1.24 million cwt for 2021 were up 5 percent from 2020. Shrinkage and loss was estimated at 23.4 million cwt for 2021, down slightly from 2020. Growers kept 3.58 million cwt for seed, livestock feed, and home use on their own farms, down 21 percent from 2020. United States potatoes used for processing totaled 281 million cwt, up slightly from 2020. Potatoes used for chips and shoestrings totaled 60.3 million cwt, up 2 percent from the previous year. Frozen french fries and other frozen products utilized 171 million cwt of raw potatoes, up 2 percent from 2020. Potatoes used for dehydrating totaled 40.6 million cwt, down 10 percent from 2020. Canning use, at 2.18 million cwt, was down 16 percent from the previous year. Other products made from potatoes utilized 7.20 million cwt of potatoes, an 11 percent increase from 2020.

Potatoes are included in the June and December Quarterly Agricultural Surveys, but also follow Grower Special Surveys. Special grower disposition surveys are conducted at the end of each season to provide additional details about the crop. Telephone follow-up of mail survey non-respondents is used to ensure adequate coverage. Estimating Procedures: Information obtained from the special grower disposition surveys and federal administrative data is used to establish estimates of acreage, production, amount sold, and usage on farm where grown. These estimates are reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates. Revision Policy: All estimates for the previous crop year can be revised at this time. End-of-season estimates of production are made following harvest and are subject to revision the following year based on a thorough review of all available data. Reliability: Survey results are subject to non-sampling errors such as omission, duplication, imputation for missing data, and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. These errors cannot be measured directly, but they are minimized through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
