Most open market sales are for a conventional run of 35 - 75mm seed. A high proportion of contract sales are for 35 - 60mm and 35 - 65mm. However, seed potatoes can be supplied in any size. An agreement between the grower and the purchaser regarding size is usually required prior to grading.
Buyers are advised to discuss their requirements with their seed producer at the earliest opportunity, preferably prior to planting.
