More U.S. Potato Growers Can Compete in Thailand

More U.S. states are now eligible to ship potatoes to Thailand. In an announcement made this week by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, the Thailand government will now accept potatoes from Colorado, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New York, North Dakota and Wisconsin. In 2009, Thailand announced it would only accept seed potatoes from California, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. “This is a promising development for U.S. seed potatoes producers who will now be able to compete in Thailand, the largest potato growing country in Southeast Asia," said Vilsack.
