SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL ASPECTS OF POTATOES FOR CHIPPING: CURRENT PRACTICES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Sixteen Pennsylvania potato chip makers are surveyed about their potato acquisition and storage practices. The feasibility of storing potatoes for chipping at the plant is examined. Storage of potatoes by the firms appears to be economically attractive, especially for four to six months. The implications of increased at-plant storage on movements of potatoes are discussed.
