Frozen potatoes were one of two categories that increased in volume sales (0.5%) and canned (0.2%). The biggest decline in volume for this timeframe was in refrigerated potatoes, down by 11.4%, and fresh potatoes, down by 3.4%.

Fresh potato dollar sales were up for all types, except fingerling and purple, due to tight supply.
