The National Potato Council is gearing up for a significant virtual media roundtable on February 26, 2024, to present a groundbreaking report, "The Current and Potential Impact of Expanded Potato Exports," crafted by esteemed economists from Michigan State University. This comprehensive analysis forecasts a $1 billion surge in the U.S. GDP and the creation of numerous jobs through the expansion of U.S. potato exports.
The report emerges as the U.S. aims to bolster agricultural trade with key partners like Mexico, Canada, Japan, and South Korea, marking a strategic moment for the nation's potato sector. The roundtable will spotlight insights from the National Potato Council's top brass, including 2023 President RJ Andrus and CEO Kam Quarles, shedding light on the report's implications during a Q&A.
This initiative reflects the council's dedication to propelling the U.S. potato industry onto the global stage, enhancing economic growth, and fortifying international trade relations. Participation in the roundtable is available through prior registration, offering a platform for global stakeholders to engage in this transformative dialogue.
