The site also provides information on the US situation and provide insight into the global market place.
Along with the market information provided (intended to inform you of the current situation facing your market so that you can make better informed planting and marketing decisions) the site will also provide you with information on the latest, events, seminars, meetings, projects and overall direction of the UPGC to help you, the growers, to maximize profitability.
Please some time to look around, you will be suprised with what you will find!
Planting Intentions for 2012At this time of year the United Potato Growers of Canada would like to refocus 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. 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.
