U.S. Potatoes: Stable Yield, Upgraded Quality

In the 2024–2025 season, the U.S. potato industry is experiencing a phase of “slightly lower yields, excellent quality, and record-high exports.”

• Total production: Approximately 421 million cwt, roughly the same as last year.
• Major production areas: Idaho, Washington, and Oregon continue to lead, with Russet varieties remaining dominant.

Although copper is a trace element, its functions permeate multiple core life processes in plants, including energy production, structural construction, and metabolic defence, making it a veritable “jack-of-all-trades”.

Against the global shift toward high-quality, high-efficiency, and sustainable agriculture, the demand for secondary and micronutrients in soils and crops has become increasingly prominent. Whether it is the pursuit of color, flavor, and quality in fruits and vegetables, or the need for stress resistance, yield stability, and nutrient-use efficiency in field crops, precise supplementation of functional elements has become an indispensable part of modern crop management.

Russia is the world's largest wheat exporter, with winter wheat accounting for approximately 70% of its total wheat production. The winter wheat sowing area for 2025 is projected at 17.35-17.60 million hectares, representing a year-on-year decrease of 0.5-1.0 million hectares (a decline of approximately 2.8%-5.7%). 

In the cultivation of economic crops such as fruit trees, melons, and vegetables, “many flowers but few fruits” is a common issue. The three main factors leading to flower and fruit drop are summarized as follows:

Robust seedlings, vigorous growth, and well-developed root systems form the cornerstone of high yields, with their golden starting point lying in seed germination. City Max Group's Organmix multiple sources organic biostimulant activates the seed's latent potential from within, enabling it to ‘gain an early advantage before emergence’. This ensures crops gain the upper hand from the very moment of sprouting, securing victory throughout their entire growth cycle!

In early spring, low temperatures, continuous rainfall, and weak light often lead to slow recovery, stagnation, and poor root regeneration after watermelon transplanting. At the trial site, persistent low temperature and weak light caused significant seedling stress and slow recovery. To verify the effectiveness of the solution, point-application with ORGANMIX + ULTRALGAE was conducted and compared with an untreated control.

November marked a critical period for CITYMAX GROUP, as the company continued to focus on stable production, steady supply, and consistent quality. Despite rising order volumes, our factory maintained an efficient production rhythm and reliable shipment schedule. Key products including ORGANMIX, FulvoMAX, AMINOMAX, and UltraHumiMax all reached their planned monthly output and were shipped on schedule to customers across domestic and international markets.

For leguminous crops, although molybdenum is not a macronutrient, its importance rivals that of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, being a crucial micronutrient that determines both yield and quality. Its role is highly specific and vital.

Nanchang, China — The 39th China Plant Protection Conference concluded successfully from November 21–23, 2025. As one of the most influential agricultural events in China, this year’s conference, themed “Prevention First, Integrated Plant Protection,” attracted industry professionals, distributors, and researchers from across the country and abroad.
