In Season 3.21.11

• According to The Packer, sweet potatoes will not be in abundance during the Easter holiday season this year, perhaps limiting retailer promotions. After Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Year’s, Easter is the third-biggest pull of the year for sweet potato shippers. Current terminal prices on fresh orange No. 1 sweet potatoes is $16-17 for 40-pound cartons from North Carolina, up from $15-16 last year. [ThePacker]
