Japan: Japanese Potato Chip Producers Suspend Some Products

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Japan's leading potato producers have announced the suspension or termination of a combined 48 product lines in the month of April due to limited supplies of chipping potatoes. A series of typhoons in summer 2016 damaged Japan's potato production, including the planting potatoes for the 2017 production year. Hokkaido, which produces approximately 80 percent of Japan's chipping potatoes, will begin planting in late April and early May.
