Revisions have been made to the varietal classifications for size requirements for U.S. No. 2 grade potatoes by the USDA . The purpose of the revision is to distinguish between Russet potatoes and all other Irish potato varieties handled under the marketing order and grown in certain designated counties in Idaho and Malheur County, Oregon.
The size requirements specified in the marketing order’s handling regulations remain unchanged. The import regulations for long type potatoes have been changed accordingly.
