Ballarat district potato growers have been offered a 24 per cent increase to supply potatoes to McCain Foods this year.
Growers received a letter last week from the Ballarat food processor stating the increase.
It is believed the amount was agreed to across the board for all potato varieties supplied to McCain.
But given the region has experienced the worst heat wave since 1908, The Courier understands there may be massive yield decreases for those struggling with water.
McCain Growers Group vice-president Dominic Prendergast said he was "reasonably happy"with McCain's offer.
