The Potato Supply Chain: From Field to Your Plate

Ever wondered how a potato travels from a sun drenched field to your dinner table? Our Potato Supply Chain LEARN page reveals the journey of Potato your plate as crispy fries, creamy mash or fresh potatoes, starting with cultivation, where farmers plant seed tubers in fertile soil, using irrigation and pest control to grow healthy crops, followed by storage in cool, controlled facilities to keep them fresh for months, before they are processed into fries or chips or shipped fresh to retail, where they are sold as whole potatoes, pre-cut snacks or packaged goods in stores and markets.
