United States Standards for Grades of Sweet Potatoes

الملخص

The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) of the Department of Agriculture (USDA) is soliciting comments on it's proposal to revise the United States Standards for Grades of Sweet Potatoes. USDA has received a request from several industry groups to add a new grade to the standards, U.S. No. 1 Petite. The change being proposed would allow the packing and shipping of smaller size sweet potatoes under the U.S. standards, thereby, improving the usefulness of the standards in serving the industry.
