Cavendish Farms invests in more efficient centralized potato storage on Prince Edward Island
Canadian Potato Processing company Cavendish Farms is investing in major potato storage upgrades at its New Annan French Fry plant, Prince Edward Island.
The company is building two new potato stores, suitable to store 22,000 tons (48 million pounds) of potatoes.

“I think this helps ensure the plants get better quality potatoes, especially through those long storage months of July, August, and September.”Bristow said the buildings under construction are meant to replace six outdated ones, which are 50 to 60 years old and poorly insulated. They also don't have refrigeration and lack airflow.
“So this will help the french fry plants produce better quality products.”
Jubs Bristow:
“Currently we've been using numerous older style buildings in different locations through the central part of the Island, which are now just past their use date and just no longer efficient for the volume of potatoes we're wanting to store.”The new potato storage facilities will use 35 per cent less fossil fuel than the ones they're replacing.
