Idaho’s potato harvest is now complete; overall demand is moderate. Expect markets to increase over the next few weeks.

• The harvest is now complete, so growers can control supply levels and hold back shipments to increase prices
• Markon First Crop (MFC) Norkotah Potatoes are shipping out of storage
• MFC Burbank Potatoes are in storage sheds until the sweat process is complete
  • Burbank supplies will undergo the sweat process to shed excess moisture after harvest
  • The process lasts approximately three to four weeks or until the outer skin is cured sufficiently
  • After the sweat process is complete, skins will have a smooth, net-like appearance
• Limited MFC Burbank Potatoes will begin shipping from storage in early November
