The Competitive Position of Major U.S. Potato Producing Regions*

Richard A. Levins and Max R. Langham

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1974, vol. 6, issue 1, 229-234

Abstract: This study utilizes a spatial equilibrium model to examine the equilibrium farm-level prices and production levels which may be expected for the major potato-producing regions in the United States, both in the short run and the long run under competitive conditions. The model encompasses both the temporal and spatial dimensions of the United States potato industry. The reactive programming algorithm was used to determine the equilibrium prices and quantities. Input requirements for the model include supply functions, demand functions, and intermediate marketing costs.
