About New York potato prices
New York's potato quotes on this site come from two areas reported together: Long Island and the western and central part of the state near the Great Lakes. It is a round white and yellow table-stock district, about three-quarters white on this site, and it has never quoted a red or a russet.
Packing runs mostly to 2,000 lb bulk totes, a foodservice and repack format, with baled consumer bags behind it. New York sits at the northern end of the Eastern Seaboard's fresh round-potato rotation, picking up after Delaware finishes further south. USDA's published coverage of this district has been thin in recent years; where the page above shows a stale-quote badge, that reflects a real gap in USDA's shipping point reporting for New York rather than a site error. See white and yellow for the rest of the round-potato trade this origin sits within.
Against the national benchmark. The quotes on this page are New York's alone. For the single figure the trade quotes as the market, potato prices today follows Idaho's 70-count russet carton per carton, per hundredweight, per pound and per potato, with the date of USDA's latest quote.
Season. New York potatoes typically ship September through January, based on where USDA movement volumes concentrate over the year. Outside that window fresh shipping point quotes thin out, which is normal crop rotation, not a data gap.
Common questions
Why is there no current New York potato price?
USDA has not published a shipping point quote for New York since Jan 27, 2022. That last quote was Size A whites in bulk totes at mostly $13.00/cwt ($0.13/lb). This page keeps New York's quote history as a record rather than presenting an old price as a live one, and it will show a current price again if USDA resumes quoting the district.
When did New York quote potato prices?
USDA quoted New York on 61 days between 2021 and 2022 on this site's record, most of them from November through January. Its last quote was Jan 27, 2022.
Does New York still ship potatoes?
Not in USDA's current reports. USDA's Daily Movement reports logged 160,000 cwt of fresh New York potato shipments in the 12 months to Mar 19, 2022, across 93 report days. By type, that volume was 82% round white and 17% yellow. The last day on record, Mar 19, 2022, logged 1,800 cwt. A hundredweight (cwt) is 100 lb. Neither shipments nor prices for New York have been reported since.
