The National Potato Council is a voluntary organization supported by quota assessments from state organizations, allied industry memberships and sponsorships, and directly by potato growers through membership dues.

Potato growers, along with the U.S. potato industry as whole, directly benefit from involvement in the National Potato Council. NPC supports the U.S. potato industry by:

		Monitoring issues affecting the strength and viability of the potato industry;
		Influencing regulators and legislators on issues crucial to the industry's long term success;
		Ensuring fair market access for potatoes and potato products; and
		Bringing the unique issues and interests of diverse growing regions in the U.S. together on a national level.
