2 N�� P�� C�� 3 Message from the President

am proud to serve this year as National Potato Council (NPC) President. It is both an honor and a huge responsibility. My fi rst goal is to ensure that when my term is up NPC is even stronger and more infl uential. I am fortunate that the workI of previous NPC presidents ensures that I am starting with a solid foundation and a noteworthy list of accomplishments. However, as NPC President there is no standing still. NPC continues its strong advocacy eff orts in areas of critical importance to the potato industry. During this year’s Potato D.C. Fly-In, nearly 200 hundred growers and industry leaders shared their perspectives with elected representatives and federal agency offi cials. While NPC is actively engaged on many issues, the following are urgent priorities for NPC and are on the minds of both growers and Congressional staff . Each one illustrates that the time for action is now. NPC is hard at work to move the needle. Th e Trans-Pacifi c Partnership (TPP), an Asian-Pacifi c regional free trade agreement among 12 nations, off ers a signifi cant opportunity for increased U.S. potato exports. Th e agreement’s many benefi ts for potatoes include reductions to tariff s in Japan and Vietnam, two top markets, and better structure to solve confl icts over unjustifi ed phytosanitary measures. For U.S.-grown potatoes to be a world player, we need to pass TPP. Th e recently released U.S. International Trade Commission’s report on the potential economic impact of the TPP bolstered our cause with examples of the benefi ts and confi rmation that lower tariff s on exports would allow potato growers and exporters to meet the rising demand in the Asia-Pacifi c region. For example, the agreement would reduce tariff s on frozen fries entering Japan from 8.5 percent to zero. Similar tariff reductions in other countries and on other potato products will make U.S. potatoes and potato products more competitive in those markets. Th e market for U.S. potato exports to TPP countries grew 23% during 2010-2014, and that growth would increase at an exponential rate aft er TPP is enacted. NPC’s message focuses on allowing the industry to compete more eff ectively with our competitors. NPC has publicly called for TPP passage before the next President of the U.S. takes offi ce. Another issue that has reached a breaking point in the past year is the need for federal preemption on genetically-engineered food and food products, also identifi ed as GMOs, or genetically modifi ed organisms. Many groups devoted time and energy to debate the pros and cons, as Congress turned its full attention to this lightning rod issue. Th e Vermont law, which requires labeling but allows exceptions for dairy and maple syrup, is set to take eff ect July 1, 2016. Without Congressional action, the Vermont labeling law will be the de facto national law until the likely proliferation of additional state laws begins. Th e specter of a growing number of state labeling requirements with possible exemptions for a state’s leading food products guaran- tees chaos in the market place. Along with many ag groups, NPC believes that a state-by-state approach has fl aws and is set to create confu- sion, higher costs and shipping concerns. As grower advocates, NPC supported Congressional action on a federal GMO labeling solution. It appears that any federal solution is likely to include mandatory requirements for disclosure to consumers. It is important that those disclosure requirements do not imply concerns about the safety of the products and do not stigmatize biotechnology. NPC seeks to energize individual growers and use the power of grassroots advocacy to help inform legislative and regulatory policy makers. I aim to set an example at the top by being active in the political process. I urge you to make sure your representatives in Washington hear from you on these important grower issues too. Together we can help our industry prosper.

Key Issues in 2016

Potato Research Special Grants NPC has worked every year for the past 25 years with appropriations committees in the House and Senate to secure funding for the Potato Research Special Grants that support potato breeding projects across the country. A major win for NPC and growers was increasing that funding level to $2 million for FY 2016. NPC has focused on continuing this level of funding for 2017. Positive signs occurred this spring, when the House and Senate Agriculture Appropriations committees both approved language to the benefi t of the industry in their FY17 Committee Reports. Th e House language highlighting the importance of the $2 million in funding read: “Th e Committee supports research eff orts to combat crop-threatening pest and disease pressures, including the potato cyst nematode. Th e Committee also recognizes the importance of research initiatives to identify and improve desired traits for new potato varieties and directs the Department to continue working with universities, industry and potato growers on these projects.” Funding from the Potato Research Special Grants has helped create varieties that can resist late blight, early blight, and potato cyst nematodes. Each project must compete to receive the funds, and the program encourages collaboration and eliminates overlapping research. Truck Weight Reform NPC devoted signifi cant eff ort to advocating for higher truck weight limits in 2015. Federal highways in the United States set the limit at 80,000 pounds for a vehicle with fi ve combined axles. Giving states the option to increase the truck weight limit on federal highways to 97,000 pounds on six combined axles would result in safer roads, a stronger economy, fewer emissions, and improved infrastructure. Th e additional axle maintains or improves braking capacity, handling characteristics and the distribution of weight per tire—without changing truck size. Th e highway reauthorization bill includes the Highway Trust Fund established in 1956 to provide funding for construction and maintenance of highways, roads and bridges. In December 2015, Congress approved the reauthorization of the highway bill without the inclusion of a truck weight limit increase on federal highways. An amendment off ered to the bill on the House fl oor to allow states the option to increase truck weights was defeated 187-236. NPC and other members of the coalition supporting increased truck weights are committed to continuing to pursue this issue. Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) has stated he will continue to support the higher limit. Another longtime champion, Rep. Reid Ribble (R-WI), is not seeking reelection which means NPC will work to cultivate more advocates on the issue.

2016 P�� S�� Y�� · J�� 2016 5 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans Th e 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans were released in early January 2016 aft er much anticipation and some controversy over recommendations on certain foods including meat and concern that the Guidelines might include recommendations on sustainability and other issues unrelated to nutrition. Th e guidelines form the basis for federal nutrition and feeding programs. Th e 2015 guidelines included a recommended new limit for consumption of added sugars. As for potatoes, they remain in the “vegetable” category and therefore part of the recommended diet rich in fruit and vegetables. Aft er much political bantering occurred when the advisory committee report included recommendations on agricultural production systems and sustainability, the fi nal guidelines were written without mention of it, as requested by USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack.

6 N�� P�� C�� Key Issues in 2016

Mexico – Fresh Access In 2003, the United States and Mexico signed a market access agreement to allow exports of fresh potatoes to Mexico. For the fi rst time, potatoes could be exported from all U.S. states to Mexico based on a ship- ment freedom approach which certifi es the pest freedom of individual loads. A series of court decisions in June 2014 suspended the rules established by Mexican authorities to allow potato imports from the United States to areas of Mexico beyond the 26-kilometer border zone. Th e lawsuits were fi led by potato interests in Mexico including the National Confederation of Potato Producers (CON- PAPA), which argued that the U.S. potatoes had the potential to negatively aff ect Mexican plant health. CONPAPA’s arguments that U.S. potatoes posed a pest and disease threat to Mexican crops are not based on science. An international panel of plant pest experts commissioned by both governments had previously concluded that appropriate mitigation measures would allow potato trade between the U.S. and Mexico to occur. Mexican federal plant health authorities incorporated the international panel recommendations on mitigation measures into the published rules allowing shipments. NPC, working with U.S. shippers and Mexican importers and grocers, have become parties to the lawsuits in Mexico. Both science and the track record of successful shipments from the U.S. to Mexico confi rm the safety of potato trade between the two countries. Th e timetable for successfully completing the court cases could be lengthy. GMO Labeling Th is year Congress turned their attention to legislation to guide labeling of genetically-engineered food and food products, also identifi ed as GMOs or genetically modifi ed organisms. NPC worked with Members of Congress to make clear the potato industry position that decisions on the labeling of food should be made by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and that labeling should occur only in relation to food safety or health. FDA should require mandatory labeling only when it determines those foods to be unsafe or materially diff erent from foods produced without GM ingredients. All other food labeling should remain voluntary, with consumers given the option to choose genetically-modifi ed or non-GMO foods based on their preference. To facilitate consumer choice domestically and to protect export markets for U.S. potatoes and potato products internationally, the industry supports eff ective identity preservation protocols. Congress needs to clearly establish FDA as the sole decision maker in food labeling. A patchwork of state laws on GMO food labeling like the Vermont labeling law will confuse consumers and increase food costs and potentially ignore the strong science supporting the safety of GMO products. Th e vast majority of the international science community agrees that there is no substantiated evidence that foods from GMO crops are less safe than foods from n on-GMO crops. While the industry opposed mandatory labeling, the cost of establishing federal preemption was to submit to it with caveats noted in the Roberts-Stabenow legislation.

2016 P�� S�� Y�� · J�� 2016 7 NPC Scholarship Shunping Ding, a doctoral student in Plant Pathology at the Univer- sity of Wisconsin-Madison, was awarded the NPC 2015-16 Academic Scholarship. Her research focus is control of the potato early blight complex (EBC), a common fungal disease that results in signifi cant loss to the potato industry annually. NPC anticipates that her current and future research into potato diseases will greatly benefi t the industry by off ering possible solutions for this problem. Ding is an enthu- siastic researcher and dedicated student who is a proven leader both inside and outside of the classroom. Her extensive research experience, combined with activity in several professional organizations, show her investment in becoming an expert in her fi eld of study. Th e $10,000 scholarship is supported by individual contributions and through a silent auction held at the NPC Summer Meeting. Environmental Stewardship Award Mike and Marge Finnessy and Mark and Shannon Finnessy of Okray Family Farms in Plover, Wisconsin, were awarded the prestigious Environmental Stewardship Award for their commitment to stewardship of their land and protection of the shared environment. Th e award is a component of the Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program, a partnership between NPC and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to protect the environment and promote the safe and eff ective use of pesticides. Okray Family Farms was recognized for reducing the risk associated with the use of pesticides on their farm without compromising potato yield or quality. Benefi cial species are encouraged and supported in the growing areas through the planting of multi-species windbreaks. Since 2000, the Okrays have worked with Central Wisconsin Windshed Partnership Group to plant over 25 miles of windbreaks around the fi elds to aid in the reduction of wind erosion. Sponsor- ship from DuPont Crop Protection helps make this award possible. Grower Supporter Campaign Many growers want to get more involved in helping the potato industry. Grower Supporters contribute fi nancially to NPC above and beyond state quota assessments to further support the industry’s legislative and regulatory initiatives. NPC leads the charge on behalf of U.S. potato growers and industry members in our nation’s capital. By bringing national interests together, NPC identifi es and addresses issues that aff ect the potato industry and makes certain that potato growers’ interests are protected in Washington, D.C. POPAC Besides the supporter campaign, the Potato Political Action Committee (POPAC) supports the political campaigns of friends of the potato industry who serve in Congress. Cultivating advocates for our industry is critical in today’s legislative landscape. POPAC relies on voluntary contributions from individuals who understand the value of strong relationships with members of Congress. Receptions held during the annual Potato Expo and the NPC Summer Meeting aid in raising contributions for the PAC.

Meet Food Enthusiasts Food Enthusiasts represent a large portion of the population and are defined by their love and overall involvement with food as well as their desire to explore culinary creations from across the globe.

Food Enthusiasts are perhaps most unique in that they want to be involved with food and cooking— it’s a social and creative outlet (more so than a job to do). They are very visually engaged with food, searching for recipes from a variety of sources to use as a launch pad for experimentation.

While Food Enthusiasts have a very involved relationship with food, they are not actually self- described “foodies.” Food Enthusiasts are defined by their affinity for food, and especially cooking, versus having a superior knowledge of food.

For Food Enthusiasts, potatoes are a loved vegetable with surprising health benefits. These consumers most appreciate potatoes for their varieties, versatility and ability to pair with many foods and flavors.

For specific characterization purposes, Food Enthusiasts agree…

■ I’m pretty adventurous when it comes to trying new foods. ■ I like to experiment and try new recipes. ■ I cook frequently throughout the week. ■ I prefer to cook with fresh rather than frozen. ■ I love to eat at restaurants. AND ■ Describe their cooking as “adventurous.”

50 National Potato Council Print ad Consumer Marketing The 9th Wonder of the World consumer advertising campaign celebrates the fun and versatility of cooking with potatoes. By tapping into the adventurous nature of our Food Enthusiasts, the creative elements inspire people to cook with potatoes by showing that there is no limit to cuisines, fl avors or preparations with potatoes.

A fully integrated communications campaign is running in targeted print, online pre-roll video, digital and social media. Partners such as Food Network Magazine, Cooking Light and Bon Appetit provide cooking inspiration, while digital display networks and a blogging partnership with Honest Cooking drive traffi c to PotatoGoodness.com. We inspire new potato usage with our weekly recipe emails and have a strong PR effort in place to draw in Print ad new consumers and tap into key media infl uencers.

2016 P�� S�� Y�� · J�� 2016 51 Retail Marketing We concentrate on increasing awareness by providing retailers and shippers with the tools to understand what shoppers want. The Retail Marketing Program will continue to evolve to meet the changing needs of retailers and shippers alike, but the mission remains consistent: increase the volume and dollar sales of fresh potatoes across all retail channels.

DIRECT-TO-CONSUMER PROGRAMS This year, we’re communicating directly to consumers at retail for the fi rst time. This includes mobile advertising to target Food Enthusiasts in and around retailers with a purchase message delivered to their phones. We’re also placing ads and articles in retailer print publications to entice consumers to visit the produce department and purchase potatoes.

TOOLS AND RESOURCES Potatoes USA has tools and resources that are available to all growers, shippers and retailers. This includes the resource center, retailer portal, FreshFacts® database, PowerPoint wizard, ECRM ad tracking, price elasticity tool and produce associate training modules. Ingredient Marketing The Ingredient Program is focused on driving potato innovation at retail and with frozen and refrigerated food manufacturers. We’re developing new food concepts in ready-to-heat meals, side dishes and snacks, as well as holding one-on-one meetings with food manufacturers.

52 N�� P�� C�� Foodservice Marketing Our Foodservice Marketing Program has one overarching goal: inspire culinary professionals to use potatoes more often and in more ways. We drive potato innovation on menus by working with restaurant chefs and foodservice management to inspire ideas that go far beyond traditional fried, baked and mashed. In addition to inspiring culinary professionals, we also feature the versatility, cost effectiveness, demand and nutrition of potatoes.

CULINARY SEMINAR The Global Potato seminar takes place annually at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in Napa Valley, California, each October. It’s an accredited program that brings culinary professionals together to create new U.S. potato concepts that foodservice diners crave.

BUILDING FOODSERVICE AWARENESS: TRADE PR AND ONLINE DIGITAL PRESENCE It’s paramount to increase the awareness, perception and value of potatoes at foodservice. By partnering with the International Foodservice Editorial Council (IFEC), we constantly share new potato menu ideas, recipes and potato information. We also use digital advertising to showcase inspiring potato dishes to foodservice professionals.

CHEFSFEED ChefsFeed, a mobile-first food media and technology platform, will spotlight innovative potato dishes created by cutting-edge chefs around the country through short online videos. The videos will reach cutting-edge chefs, urban diners and industry influencers, all important target audiences.

2016 Potato Statistical Yearbook · July 2016 53 School Nutrition and Foodservice The School Foodservice Program launched in July 2015. By spurring potato recipe innovation at K–12 schools, we will drive new and exciting uses of potatoes in school meals, on the serving line and on salad bars.

POTATOESRAISETHEBAR.COM An online toolkit available on PotatoesRaiseTheBar.com features resources school nutrition professionals can use immediately. It includes recipes, themed salad bar schematics, examples of innovative potatoes by school districts throughout the country, nutrition information and much more.

INDUSTRY CONFERENCES We cultivate relationships all year long at conferences within the school nutrition and foodservice communities. These gatherings are great opportunities to showcase potatoes as an affordable, delicious, versatile canvas for healthy school meal innovation.

ADVERTISING AND PUBLIC RELATIONS The well-crafted media program provides a balanced mix of print and online advertising in school foodservice publications with a strategic editorial calendar for trade and consumer media outreach. All activities are aimed at reaching a wide audience with key messages about potatoes in school meals and driving them to the resources at PotatoesRaiseTheBar.com.

54 National Potato Council Nutrition Marketing To increase nutrition influencers promotion of potatoes as a necessary part of a healthy diet, we’re creating “lightbulb moments” with a positive approach to nutrition communications that change the potato dialogue from permissive to prescriptive.

SMARTBRIEF PROMOTIONS SmartBrief for Nutritionists is a daily online news aggregator, which provides targeted news stories for a variety of audiences. Throughout the year, potatoes will be showcased for nutrition professionals, allowing us to reach influencers through a credible source.

NUTRITION NEWS BUREAU AND MEDIA RELATIONS Potatoes USA will publicize the positive lifestyle benefits of potatoes at key times of the year. For instance, readers were “schooled” about potato nutrition A to Z during Back to School season, and we’ll be talking all about potatoes’ potassium benefits during Heart Health Month. We’ll also promote potato nutrition in satellite media tours and influencer publications, such as blogs, columns and social media.

APRE RESEARCH PUBLICITY As the Alliance for Potato Research and Education generates new nutrition research, we actively share the information via posts on national newswires and targeted media pitching.

NUTRITION PARTNERSHIPS Potatoes USA continues to work with its highly valued nutrition partners, Produce for Better Health, United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association, Oldways and its Mediterranean Foods Alliance Division. These partners offer advocacy to potatoes through their professional and consumer networks. Working with them, Potatoes USA communicates the necessary role potatoes play in a healthy diet.

2016 Potato Statistical Yearbook · July 2016 55 Spud Nation Spud Nation is the fi rst food truck owned by American potato farmers to bring customers a fi eld to fork potato adventure. The soul behind Spud Nation is that of freedom and innovation - the freedom to go beyond and do what has never been done before and inspire others to embrace the ability to enjoy potatoes through innovative recipes and uses. The food truck will serve as an incubator and rolling test kitchen, presenting potatoes to customers through unexpected recipes and fl avors.

The fi rst of its kind food truck is also armed with state-of-the-art restaurant equipment and plenty of bells and whistles. The truck has met and exceeded all food and safety standards to bring customers fresh, safe and delicious food. Spud Nation is also a fully educational platform, being equipped with video, audio, LCD screens, drop-down patio, LED lights and GoPro cameras to make for perfect cooking demonstrations. Additionally, Spud Nation is furnished with amazing equipment such as top-of-the-line fryers, making for a perfect experience every time.

Finally, Spud Nation is non-profi t and is about the community - farmers, customers, employees and beyond. Employees on the truck are all salaried with full benefi ts, and all tips received will go to charity.

56 N�� P�� C�� PotatoesUSA Research Despite their humble appearance, potatoes are complex organisms. They even have four sets of chromosomes per cell−by comparison, humans only have two. They can be grown under a variety of conditions and for different purposes, and the research possibilities within the potato industry are nearly limitless. At Potatoes USA we understand that resources are not limitless and must be used carefully to address present and future threats of all types, strengthening the industry in the process. Moreover, the information learned through the research programs must be communicated back to the industry in an effective and timely manner.

NATIONAL CHIP PROGRAM Without question, potato chips are one of the most popular snack food choices in the United States and beyond. Essential variety development research is both expensive and time intensive, so the National Chip Program is a collaboration between potato growers and processors to help manage the significant cost burdens of developing and commercializing new potato chip varieties. An additional benefit is that the program shortens the timetable for new products to reach the market. What used to take 12 to 15 years can now be accomplished in six to eight years.

NATIONAL FRY PROCESSOR TRIALS The benefits of teamwork in variety development efforts are not limited to only the chip sector. The National Fry Processor Trials (NFPT) program is also a collaboration between growers and processors. The NFPT program is dedicated to identifying new potato clones that meet tried and true consumer acceptance standards while improving the nutritional profile of a finished frozen fry. Clones in the program are grown in five different growing areas across the country and judged on a variety of attributes, from size distribution to sugar content. Ultimately, the varieties in the program can be selected by growers and processors for commercialization.

2016 Potato Statistical Yearbook · July 2016 57 International Marketing Internationally, Potatoes USA promotes potatoes on behalf of the U.S. potato industry in more than 30 countries throughout the world, leveraging funding from USDA − with grower assessment cost sharing − to promote fresh (tablestock and chipstock), processed (dehydrated and frozen) and seed potatoes. On the U.S. industry side, we work with U.S. growers to ensure they are export ready and able to take advantage of opportunities as they arise by organizing events to build buyer-seller relationships.

INTERNATIONAL RETAIL MARKETING By targeting international retailers, we introduce new U.S. potato varieties and potato products to consumers at supermarkets. This is achieved through in-store retail promotions/sampling, training seminars for produce associates, development of point-of-sale materials, and storage/handling seminars. Similar to the domestic marketing program, we work with retailers to test new and promising best practices to determine if they increase sales at the retail level.

INTERNATIONAL FOODSERVICE MARKETING We partner with foodservice establishments, importers and distributors, culinary organizations and the media. Menu development adapts both Western and local cuisine to the tastes of each target market. Merchandising visits, trade shows, newsletters, seminars, potato demonstrations and samples are a few ways that Potatoes USA representatives introduce new uses and products to both current and new distribution channels. To maintain market share, we provide value-added services, such as technical and educational support as well as promotional funds, to those buying 100% U.S. potatoes. Continually providing messages about versatility, value, convenience, food safety and profi tability ensures U.S. potatoes are top-of-mind for buyers.

58 N�� P�� C�� INTERNATIONAL INGREDIENT MARKETING The foundation of the Ingredient Program is to generate new concepts and to disseminate technical information on the benefits of including U.S. potatoes and potato products as an ingredient in bakery, snack and food manufacturing. Trade education activities, such as trade shows, seminars and one-on-one meetings, are crucial to the program. Potatoes USA convinces manufacturers to conduct product trials and continues to provide technical information as needed to convince target companies to make commercial purchases.

INTERNATIONAL CONSUMER MARKETING Presenting a positive image for potatoes is an overarching strategy for Potatoes USA both domestically and internationally. This program is the international direct-to-consumer marketing program that aims to increase awareness of the nutritional benefits, versatility, taste, variety and relevance of potatoes in the daily diets of consumers around the world. With a steady stream of research-based messages highlighting the positive benefits of potatoes, Potatoes USA works to continuously improve attitudes and increase usage.

2016 Potato Statistical Yearbook · July 2016 59 INTERNATIONAL SEED MARKETING The Potatoes USA Seed Program builds global demand by identifying and developing new target markets, sponsoring fi eld trials leading to variety registrations, obtaining and growing market access, and educating foreign buyers on the benefi ts of investing in U.S. seed potatoes. Through these activities, Potatoes USA spreads the word that U.S. potatoes are distinct in their high quality, reputable growing techniques and certifi cation process.

FOOD ASSISTANCE AND DEVELOPMENT (IFAD) We provide education and training services to USDA, USAID, private voluntary organizations and other groups via meetings, workshops, pilot projects and other activities to encourage the inclusion of dehydrated potatoes in U.S. government- funded food assistance and development programming.

MARKET ACCESS Restricted market access remains one of the biggest impediments to growth of U.S. potato exports, making it a priority for the U.S. industry to open new markets and maintain access in current markets. While market access negotiations are inherently government to government, Potatoes USA coordinates with the National Potato Council and state potato organizations to recommend industry priorities and resolve barriers to trade. © 2016 Potatoes USA.
