Potato Market Intelligence
Potato Gross Revenue Per Acre
Potato gross revenue per acre measures crop sales before operating and ownership costs are deducted. Procurement and growers can compare revenue drivers across fields or years by separating marketable yield, realized price, quality, contract, and product mix.
Market Data
How to read this market
Potato gross-revenue-per-acre data measures crop sales before operating and ownership costs are deducted. The market object is the field or enterprise by acreage, marketable yield, realized price, contract, quality adjustment, crop use, and crop year.
Use the data to compare revenue performance and supplier economics while keeping cost and margin separate. Align acreage, yield, quality, and product mix before comparing farms or years.

Analysis
Why this matters
Gross revenue can rise during a scarce market even while grower profitability falls because inputs, interest, or storage costs rise faster. Revenue and margin are different signals.
Commercial interpretation should separate price, yield, and product-mix effects before using gross revenue to assess supplier sustainability.

Potato market steady for now; Russia’s smaller crop is the salient risk
Spot prices are flat and USDA terminal reports read ‘market steady,’ but a renewed forecast for a smaller Russian harvest and recent regional harvest stress leave seasonal import timing and storage losses as the key uncertainty.

Overview
Who is this for?
This page is for procurement and market-intelligence teams that need to understand potato gross revenue per acre across growers, regions, and production systems. Gross revenue per acre measures total crop sales before operating and ownership costs are deducted. MassGain helps users build the figure from marketable yield, realized price, contract structure, quality premiums or deductions, cull recovery, and other potato-related revenue.
The suite can compare revenue by field, variety, customer, crop use, and year and place it beside regional benchmarks, acreage, yield, crop quality, and market conditions. Procurement can see whether supplier economics are being driven by price, productivity, or mix. Growers can benchmark contract performance. Finance and lenders can test downside cases when yield or price changes. Market teams can distinguish a record revenue year caused by temporary scarcity from one supported by durable productivity.
Gross revenue is not equivalent to margin or cash available for debt service. It excludes seed, fertilizer, labor, land, machinery, storage, interest, and other costs. MassGain does not determine taxable income or farm profitability. It provides a transparent revenue bridge that makes field and regional comparisons more defensible and helps users identify which commercial assumptions matter most when planning contracts, acreage, or financing.
Use Case
A procurement team reviews a supplier’s request for a higher contract price. MassGain shows the grower’s gross revenue per acre increased because of higher marketable yield and premiums, while input costs also rose. The buyer separates revenue from profitability and focuses negotiations on the actual unsupported cost gap.
