Oregon Potato Company

Oregon Potato Company belongs to the plain, practical world of potatoes, packing, and supply, and that already tells you most of what it is for. By our assessment, that kind of business is valuable when it is dependable: potatoes have to be sorted, stored, moved, and delivered in a way that keeps food moving through the chain. The downside is how little glamour there is in it, and how exposed it is to the ordinary pressures of farming, storage, and commodity pricing. In practice it is the sort of company built around warehouses, growers, and logistics more than around a consumer-facing brand. It sits in the middle ground between agriculture and food processing, not in the flashier parts of the grocery world. Oregon Potato Company matters most to people who need the supply side to work cleanly, and less to anyone looking for a visible consumer brand.
