The tone on the conference call this week indicated light demand on the cartons with some lower prices being quoted and good demand on the consumer packs. The FWA this week is at $16.59, stable from last week, which translates into an approximate return of $7.88*, stable from last week on a Russet Burbank crop that splits 60% one’s 50% Size?

*Note: We have been reporting the GRI based off of the North American Potato Market News in the past. We are now reporting based off of the United GRI chart on the website. The main difference between them is the NAPMN GRI does not take Freight and Scooping charges into consideration. The United GRI uses an average Freight and Scooping rate of $0.42 per cwt.
