WASHINGTON - Jan 12/12 - SNS -- Production of sweet potatoes in 2011 is estimated at 27.0 million cwt, up 13% from last year, according to the USDA's final production estimate for 2011 crops.
Growers harvested 130,300 acres, up 11% from last year. Yield per acre, at 208 cwt, is up 4 cwt from last year.
North Carolina's 2011 production is a record high and the yield of 200 cwt per acre matches the record high set in 2009.
