About North Carolina potato prices
North Carolina's quotes on this site are covered by USDA's Raleigh market news office and come from the Elizabeth City district in the state's northeast. It is a round red, yellow and white fresh-crop district in close to even shares here, and it has never quoted a russet.
Packing runs mostly to 2,000 lb bulk totes, the same repack profile as its mid-Atlantic neighbors, with 50 lb sacks and a small amount of baled consumer bags behind it. North Carolina typically opens the mid-Atlantic's round-potato season before Virginia, Delaware and New York pick it up further north. USDA's shipping point coverage of the district has gone quiet in recent years; where the page above shows a stale-quote badge, that is a real reporting gap rather than a site error, and this is the district whose expected season length makes that gap register fastest of the four Eastern Seaboard origins this site tracks. See red, yellow and white for the rotation it sits within.
