Canada: Potato and Potato Products
Planted areas declined this year as a result of a reduction in the demand for processing potatoes, a stagnant demand for table potatoes and growers' decision to cut back production following a year of oversupply and depressed prices. Yields will turn out well across the country, despite capricious weather conditions at various stages of production. Post forecasts an increase in exports and a decline in imports of fresh potatoes, while the frozen french fry sector continues to run steadily.
