About This Dataset
Sweet Potato Production in Three Reported US States, 2025
North Carolina leads the displayed comparison with 1,886 million pounds. California records 599.65.
USDA NASS annual production estimates provide context for seasonal foods before Halloween and Thanksgiving. These farm-output figures do not measure holiday purchases, retail prices or consumption.
North Carolina, California and Mississippi have individual numeric estimates. Arkansas and Louisiana are withheld and included in Other States. Missing values are not zero; the aggregate is excluded. Fresh-market and processing production are combined.
Thousand cwt are divided by ten to obtain million pounds. Sweet potatoes are distinct from ordinary potatoes and true yams. These are 2025 harvest estimates, not yield per acre or 2026 forecasts.
Sources checked October 22, 2026. This is a static, dated comparison; later source revisions may change the figures. Equal values represent ties regardless of display order.
