At this time of year the United Potato Growers of Canada is refocusing its attention from last year’s crop towards planning for this year’s upcoming crop.
“Almost all areas of Canada received very favourable prices for last year’s potato crop,” said United General Manager Kevin MacIsaac. “The price received by growers had everything to do with the supply of potatoes available for the marketplace. Almost all areas of Canada had reduced supply in 2011 due to weather related issues.”
