New export opportunity for US potato industry:

Moroccan market now open for US seed potatoes

On May 10, 2024, the Moroccan market opened for U.S. seed potatoes, capping a regulatory process that began nine years ago. The Moroccan food processing industry is interested in U.S. varieties of potatoes for planting, which can then be used to make potato chips and fries. In turn, five U.S. varieties of seed potatoes have already been successfully registered for import: Atlantic, Chieftain, Cal White, Ranger Russet and Clearwater Russet. With these registrations complete, U.S. exporters can begin shipping these varieties as soon as they have Moroccan buyers.

During a 2018 market assessment, the U.S. industry estimated the potential Moroccan market for seed potatoes to be approximately $8 million USD.
