      abstract = {Although potatoes are grown in most countries of the  world, the pattern of production is largely concentrated in  Europe where almost three-quarters of the world's acreage  is grown. The Americas account for somewhat over 7 percent  of total acreage of which over one-half is grown in the  southern continent.  In terms of production, this  concentration is even more marked with 86 percent of the  total coming from the aforementioned areas.  Thus it is  noted that it is in European countries and those areas of  the world largely populated by the descendants of Europeans  that the potato finds favor despite the fact that it  originated in Peru and was first used by peoples of Asiatic  origin as an item in their diet.

The purpose of this paper  is to examine and review the pattern of production and  consumption of the potato industry in the United States.   Regional specialization in production has taken place to a  significant degree and some attention is devoted to the  underlying causes of this trend.},
