🏛️ NPC – Standing Up for YOU on Capitol Hill
The National Potato Council (NPC) represents all commercial potato growers in Washington, D.C., serving as the industry’s unified voice and standing up for potatoes on Capitol Hill every single day.
A Unified Voice for a $100 Billion Industry
The U.S. potato industry—including growers, packers, processors, and distributors—generates more than $100 billion in economic activity and supports over 714,000 American jobs.
As the nation’s most consumed vegetable, potatoes are a cornerstone of American agriculture and nutrition.
Yet today, growers are navigating:
🌐 Shifting international trade dynamics
🥗 Evolving domestic nutrition regulations
📈 Rising input costs and tariff pressures
👩🌾 Labor shortages and workforce uncertainty
🐛 Increasing pest and disease threats
🚢 Ongoing export reliability challenges
In an increasingly complex and volatile policy environment, strong, strategic advocacy is more important than ever.
That’s where NPC stands.
Thanks to our 2026 Grower Supporters!
