Potandon Produce announces a new Idaho location

Potandon Produce announces the addition of another Idaho packing location to their production group. SunRiver of Idaho, located in Aberdeen, Idaho will pack and ship Idaho russet potatoes starting this month. “The addition of this new location and additional supply will allow Potandon to keep expanding our base of business and target new customers,” says Dick Thomas, senior vice president of sales. Jeff Duffin, partner and general manager of the facility adds, “Potandon Produce has demonstrated a clear and consistent position of market leadership. They bring resources which are not usually accessible by a single packing shed or supplier such as a progressive marketing program, an established retail customer base, and a national sales force. We’re looking forward to a bright future with Potandon.” Chief operating officer Mel Davenport says, “We are committed to keeping our Idaho potato supply strong and diversified. It’s a key part of our overall marketing strategy and we’ll continue to look for future opportunities to grow our business.”
