The outbreak of COVID-19 resulted in unprecedented stress on the supply chain of potatoes, resulting in a negative impact on the overall growth of the potato chip of the market. For instance, exports of dehydrated potatoes declined by 16% and fresh by 13% in 2020 as compared to the fiscal year 2019 in the United States.
