Global Relationship.

Potatoes are usually traded and consumed locally

Examples: The USA and Canada, beside trading between themselves, are the core exporters to supply the Central American and Caribbean region.

When traded, potatoes are transported across the globe in 3 different ways: Seed, fresh, and most popular, frozen.

It remains an open question whether (and where) potatoes can actually be seen as largely non traded crops which are traded only in local or national markets isolated from each other.

The type of potato commodity and the degree of internationalization of trade in that commodity plays a role, too. The different densities of the trade networks of fresh, frozen and seed potatoes lead to the hypothesis that the market for frozen potatoes is the most globalized one, with the highest market integration and highest price transmission.
