NPC 2021 President and Maine potato grower Dominic Lajoie and NPC CEO Kam Quarles sat down with us to preview next week's Summer Meeting Virtual and update the industry on a number of policy development that have occurred since the Annual Meeting in February, including: 

• NPC’s efforts over the pandemic to secure $350 million for growers to offset foodservice disruptions; 
• Ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and Mexico to reinstate access to U.S. fresh potatoes; and, 
• The latest efforts on Capitol Hill to address comprehensive immigration reform, including ag labor reform.
