Why Potato GPOD is moving
High confidenceThe market for Potato GPOD is currently holding at $42.00 per case, reflecting a significant +35.5% increase over the past three months, despite a flat week-over-week trend. This upward movement is primarily driven by a notable reduction in overall U.S. potato planted acreage for 2026, marking the smallest area since 1952, with Idaho alone seeing a nearly 5% decline from last year. Key Western shipping districts like Idaho and Washington have faced weather-related challenges, including water shortages and heat stress, which have reduced yield potential and impacted sizing, particularly for larger counts. While Quebec and parts of New York are reporting favorable harvest conditions, and Minnesota has seen improved moisture after a dry period, the underlying tighter supply from major producing regions suggests continued market firmness. Buyers should anticipate that this reduced overall supply, coupled with regional production issues, will likely maintain upward pressure on prices.

Written automatically from public sources on 2026-09-26. Our own quotes are the supplier's; the causes above come from the sources listed.
What is in the case
The supplier states no weight for the 80CT pack, so we quote it as a pack and publish no price per pound for it. That is a limit of the source, and the reason our figure stays comparable from one week to the next: a per-pound price built on an assumed case weight moves whenever the assumption does. Potato GPOD is quoted in seven pack sizes this week, from $44.00 for the 90CT to $49.00 for the 40CT. The quotes are not comparable per pound — the supplier does not publish a weight for every pack — so we list them side by side rather than ranking them.

About Potato GPOD
Potatoes are the storage crop of this list: they are dug once and shipped out of storage all year, which is why the price moves in long steps rather than week to week. The New York list is really three lists at once — russet and chef potatoes for volume, specialty colors (purple, fingerling, marble, Korean purple sweet) for menu work, and the yams, which in American produce usage means sweet potatoes and not the true yam. Idaho cartons are quoted by count, and the count is the number of potatoes in the carton, so a higher count means smaller potatoes for the same carton.
Buying notes
Pick the count for the plate, because the count is a size decision before it is a price decision — a baking menu and a roasting menu do not want the same carton. Most lines also come in a smaller carton, and the specialty colors sit well above the volume varieties, so keep them for the dishes that actually show them.
