Potato Market Intelligence
1 Kg Potato Price in America Today

Market Data
How to read this market
1 kg potato price in america today data converts potato price observations into the requested weight basis while preserving the original quote, region, variety, grade, package, market channel, reporting date, and delivery terms.
Use the normalized value only after freight, quality, package, and market stage are aligned; unit conversion solves arithmetic differences but does not remove commercial basis risk.

Analysis
Why this matters
A correct unit conversion can still produce a poor commercial comparison when one price is retail and another is farmgate, or when grade, package, freight, and timing differ.
Commercial interpretation should retain the source market and every adjustment used to reach the normalized value.

Overview
Who is this for?
This page is for buyers, consumers, procurement teams, foodservice operators, retailers, and analysts searching for the 1 kg potato price in America today. A one-kilogram price can refer to retail, wholesale, delivered, or converted bulk-market values, so the number is only useful when the market level, product specification, location, package, and reporting date are clear.
MassGain organizes current US potato price observations across retail, wholesale, terminal, shipping-point, ex-farm, and other physical-market channels. It preserves the original unit and commercial basis, then provides normalized conversions where appropriate so users can compare kilograms with pounds, hundredweight, short tons, or metric tonnes. The platform also connects prices with variety, grade, size, region, season, crop conditions, storage, freight, and market activity.
MassGain does not imply that one national price represents every potato sold in the United States. A supermarket retail price per kilogram may differ substantially from a wholesale or farm-gate equivalent because of packaging, handling, freight, margins, and quality. The goal is to give users a current, transparent reference while clearly identifying what the price measures and how recent the underlying observation is.
Use Case
A food buyer sees a US potato price quoted per hundredweight but needs a per-kilogram comparison with an imported offer. MassGain converts the US quote to dollars per kilogram, preserves the original market basis, and adjusts the comparison for freight, grade, and packaging so the buyer can evaluate the two offers on a comparable basis.
FAQs
What is the price of 1 kg of potatoes in America today?
It depends on the location, market channel, variety, grade, package, and reporting date; retail and wholesale prices can differ substantially.
How do you convert a US potato price to price per kilogram?
Convert the original unit to kilograms while keeping the same currency and commercial basis; 1 kilogram is approximately 2.2046 pounds.
Is there one national potato price per kilogram in the US?
No. Prices vary by region, product, quality, market level, package, and time, so any national figure should be treated as a reference rather than a universal transaction price.
