April 2022 - 12
any point in the past - have already been processed. Said
Quarles: " Our message has been to do the testing and then
clear the (afflicted) fields. "
Shea said APHIS is a " long way " from allowing PEI seed
potatoes to the continental U.S. He added that tablestock
potatoes are going to be closely monitored because " people
could still theoretically plant them. We have to look at this
very hard. We will make our decision on risk analysis and
the best science available to us. " (Since the NPC meeting
took place, a third positive test for potato wart in PEI fields
was confirmed by Canadian officials.)
On other fronts, Lantz said efforts are ongoing to get
fresh U.S. potatoes into Japan, but will take time. " It's going
to be a political fight, like Mexico, but lighter, " he said.
Also, a potential maximum residue level (MRL) problem
with South Korea involving maleic hydroxide, a sprout
inhibitor, was avoided recently. South Korea did not
have an MRL level for maleic hydroxide-treated potato
products from the U.S. Had residue been found without
an MRL, it could have caused significant problems with
exports to the country.
With extensive work from Lantz, the South Korean
government has agreed to speed up the MRL process to
avoid any disruptions.
" Matt has really done (strong work), " Quarles said. " It
looked like this was going to be unresolvable. "
Balcom said the NPC plans to form an MRL subcommittee
to help assure such situations are minimized in the future.
New Trade Affairs Committee Vice President Ted Tschirky
of Washington led the meeting. Tschirky was previously the
VP of Grower Outreach and Industry Research.
FINANCE COMMITTEE
Potato Expo is not only the potato show to end all potato
shows, it is a big revenue producer for the National Potato
Council. While the NPC put on a virtual Potato Expo in
2021, having no in-person event was a financial blow and
led to the organization having to liquidate some of its
long-term assets.
The NPC and its financial advisors made some changes
to its assets and investment strategy to assure the
organization remains financially healthy. In short, assets
are being reallocated to increase cash flow in the way of
interest income and dividends. The reallocation process
began in December and will take about a year.
Potato Expo returned to in-person in January 2022,
with a two-day event at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Unfortunately, the event took place as the COVID-19
omicron strain was sweeping the nation, which led to
travel issues, as well as a severe winter storm hit the
Red River Valley. Revenue was below expected levels,
but so were expenses. Quarles praised Vice President,
Industry Relations & Events Hollee Alexander for her
work in keeping expenses as low as possible as the event
unfolded. Attendance was 15% below expectations due to
late cancellations.
