The September 4 crop update confirms steady new crop volumes across primary growing regions, locking in A-size dominance for early market supply.
The September 3 unloading baseline set the A-size dominance in the primary corridor. 2. The September 4 Markon First Crop report, BB #:123315, logs steady red and yellow potato volumes across Idaho, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Canada. 3. Markets remain steady as multiple growing regions enter the lane.
Yesterday’s Idaho manifest showed A-size dominance; today’s data confirms new crop supplies remain strictly dominated by A-sizes. 2. B-sizes are available, but C-sizes are limited in the current unloading manifest. 3. Quality is very good, and harvests will finish in late September before transitioning to storage potatoes.
Wisconsin A-size potatoes dominated yesterday's unload; today they continue to dominate supplies. 2. B-sizes are somewhat limited against the total volume. 3. Quality and color are excellent, and harvests will finish in late September to early October before transitioning to storage supplies.
Minnesota reported adequate volume yesterday; today suppliers confirm adequate volume on all sizes for both colors. 2. Quality and color are excellent in this sector. 3. Supplies will ship until the first week or two of October, holding the lane.
Canadian-grown yellow and white potato harvests were underway yesterday; today the reds will begin in two to three weeks. 2. Supplies are dominated by A-sizes, with some B-sizes available. 3. Quality and color are excellent across the northern corridor.
