U.S. fresh potato exports grew by nearly 15% in volume and 6.8% in value during the 2025-26 marketing year despite an overall decline in total potato exports. Idaho led with a 16% increase, driven by targeted international marketing efforts in Mexico, Taiwan, and Malaysia.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Foodtech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Fresh potato exporters in the U.S. are seeing new growth despite a general market slump. You should prioritise direct partnerships in high-growth international markets like Mexico, Taiwan, and Malaysia to capture rising demand.
