【 摘 要 】

With total 2005 potato production down 7.5 percent, the January-October price received by growers/shippers/packers for fresh-market potatoes averaged $9.27 per cwt, 25 percent above the average received during the first 10 months of 2004. By contrast, prices for processing potatoes (which largely move under contract) averaged $5.20 per cwt, up only 1 percent from a year earlier.
