Potato Access to Mexico and Other
Key International Markets
In 2020, the U.S. potato industry celebrated
a major milestone when the Mexican Supreme
Court unanimously ruled in favor of allowing
U.S. potato imports. Where does that access
stand today and where do we hope to go from
here? Join us to discuss efforts underway to
knock down trade barriers in key countries such
as Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and

Supply Chain Breakdown
Supply chain challenges existed prior to
COVID-19 but their impacts have increased since
the pandemic began. Lack of qualified truck
drivers and equipment, backlogs in seaports,
availability of containers/chassis and slots on
ocean vessels can quickly impact the entire U.S.
potato supply chain. This session will provide
insight into overall logistical challenges and how
the pandemic has added to these challenges.

The Evolving Nutrition Landscape -
How Will It Impact Your Business?
The food and nutrition landscape is changing.
The discussion around food insecurity and the
fight to end hunger has evolved into one around
nutrition, health, and what " healthy " diets look
like for consumers and the world. As USDA sets
the stage to write their next Dietary Guidelines,
activists are pushing to expand the federal
government's definition of what " nutrition "
could mean to policymakers and consumers.
Hear from top experts in food policy on how
anti-potato activists are trying to influence
nutrition policy - and what the industry is doing
to head them off at the pass.
