The National Fry Processors Trial (NFPT) works to identify potato variety candidates that are ideal for the industry, with strong agronomics and great processing characteristics. NFPT membership includes frozen processors, state grower associations, growers, and university breeders. The program has seen some success - Caribou Russet is among those varieties making a splash in the system. Varieties go through different levels of the system called "tiers" to examine their promise in comparison to standard varieties, exploring their potential before reaching the market.
