Potato is a major food crop that is grown in over 100 countries across the world. The global potato production has grown steadily from 267 million metric ton in 1990 to 376.8 million metric ton in 2016. Potatoes are used for a variety of purposes, and not only as a vegetable for cooking at home.
In fact, less than 50% of potatoes grown worldwide are consumed fresh. The rest are processed into potato food products and food ingredients, fed to cattle, pigs, and chickens, processed into starch for industry, and re-used as seed tubers for growing the next season’s potato crop.

During 2015, the sales generated from the export of potatoes and potato products (frozen potatoes, potato seedlings, consumption potatoes, and other potato products) were USD 12 billion. 24% of the total sales were generated from the consumption of potatoes. However, the frozen potatoes accounted for more than 50% of the total sales. China, Russia, India, the US, and Ukraine are the largest producers of potatoes. Asia alone accounts for half of the world’s potato production, with China and India accounting for nearly 35% of the production. Although many countries across the globe are boosting their potato production, China and India are emerging as the clear world leaders.
Increased Use of Potatoes in the Food Processing Industry
World potato consumption is shifting from fresh potato consumption to processed potato products. Important processed potato products consist of French fries, which is having a consumption of up to 7 million metric ton in a year. Other category includes crisp potato, which is one of the most consumed product after French fries in most of the developing countries.

China – The World’s Largest Producer of Potatoes
China is the largest producer of potato in the world with a production of 99.1 million metric tons of potatoes in the year 2016, accounting for 26.3% of the world’s potato supply. China’s domestic demand for potatoes has slowly increased over the last few decades. About 10-15% of the potato produced in China is used for processed potato products, such as chips and frozen French fries. As the population in the category of middle class is increasing due to rapid urbanization, potato products are becoming more popular as they are attracted more to Westernized cuisine. Also the Chinese government is looking to increase the potato crop production as it is more profitable per acre than any other staple crops.
