Wholesale Potato Suppliers
Idaho and Washington State are the USA's dominant potato production regions. Russet Burbank (Idaho® certified) and Norkotah lead fresh and processing supply. USDA AMS No.1/No.2 grade standards govern domestic and export trade. The US processes approximately 60% of its potato crop into frozen fries, crisps, dehydrated flakes, and starch — supplied by Lamb Weston, McCain, and J.R. Simplot. Certified seed potato exports from the US are significant to Mexico and other regional markets.
