A potato industry representative says consumers are still likely to find fewer options at the grocery store today than they did pre-pandemic as processors face several shortages.
Kelly Turner with the Michigan Potato Industry Commission tells Brownfield companies have narrowed in on what is in highest demand.
“To ensure that they have product on the shelves and that it’s the stuff that’s in most demand,” she explains.
Two years into the pandemic, Turner says while there was an initial spike for shelf-stable products, demand has held steady.
