Canada: Potatoes and Potato Products Annual 2014
Post forecasts a reduction in fresh potato production, a modest increase in exports and mild decline in imports based on a weaker Canadian dollar. The frozen french fry sector will continue to remain stable. Planted areas declined once again this year as a result of further reduction in the demand for processing potatoes, and a stable demand for table potatoes. Yields are expected to be good across the country, despite late planting due to wet weather in most of the regions.
