After many years of frustrating work to gain access to Brazil for U.S. seed potatoes as well as corresponding market development, U.S. seed potato growers are finally making sales.
United States Potato Board International Marketing Manager Sarah Reece shares:
Reece: “After working in the Brazilian market for many years, importers are expanding their U.S. seed potato purchases and have imported 760 metric tons during FY 2013. Now this number is up from 150 metric in FY 2011 and zero in FY 2012."
