US may face French fry shortage due to poor potato crop: report
The U.S. may face a French fry shortage due to a poor potato crop caused by cold and wet weather this year, Bloomberg reported Monday.
Potato producers told the news outlet (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-12-02/french-fry-squeeze-hits-north-america-after-poor-potato-harvest) that they are attempting to purchase potatoes from across the continent after multiple harvests in Canada and the U.S. were ruined. The potato crop forecast in the U.S. is at the lowest since 2010, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture report.
Last month, frost hit potato farms across North America, with farmers in Manitoba, North Dakota and Minnesota losing crops.
