The Idaho Potato Commission
The Idaho Potato Commission is a state agency with many responsibilities, including the promotion of
Idaho Potatoes. The Commission is funded by a tax levied on all Idaho-grown potatoes. It is currently
set at 12.5 cents for every 100 pounds of potatoes. The funds generated from this tax are used to
advertise, promote and do research to expand the markets for Idaho-grown Potatoes.The commission is directed by nine commissioners, five of whom are potato growers, two are packers/shippers, and two represent processors. In 2012, the Idaho Potato Commission will celebrate 75 years of service. |
