Production tonnages are the volumes that have been grown and delivered from the grower to the washpacking merchant in readiness for washing, grading and packing activities.
Production tonnages, less dumpings, result in the tonnage available for commercial activity.
Ware* Production tonnages for the years 2010-2014 are as follows:
2010 - 50 765 tonnes
2011 - 52 544 tonnes
2012 - 50 200 tonnes
2013 - 51 514 tonnes
2014 - 54 673 tonnes
*Ware potato means a potato which: -
a) is grown in the State; and
b) is sold, or in respect of which there are reasonable grounds to believe that it is intended for sale, for human consumption; and
c) is unprocessed, except for cleaning and grading.
