KEVIN MACISAAC SURVEYS THE CANADIAN POTATO SECTOR

The pandemic has disrupted the supply chain in potatoes with some sectors experiencing a boom, and others suffering from a dip in demand.

 

Karen Davidson, editor of The Grower, goes 'Behind the Scenes' of the November 2021 cover story titled EYEING THE SHIFTS IN DEMAND FOR CANADIAN SEED POTATOES (click to read) and speaks with Kevin MacIsaac, general manager of the United Potato Growers of Canada. They discuss how the entire North American trade is adjusting to tectonic shifts in consumer demand, shifts in climate and shifts in seed sources. Surprisingly, some growers are responding by building more capacity.
