The organisation is the central organizing force in implementing programs that will increase demand for potatoes.

The USPB provides the ideas, information, tools and inspiration for the industry to unite in achieving common goals.

Established in 1971, the USPB now represents more than 2,500 US potato growers and handlers and is the largest vegetable commodity board in the United States.
