Overview The potato is the largest vegetable crop in Canada, accounting for 30% of all vegetable receipts1 and 15% of all horticultural2 receipts in Canada. In the 2013 calendar year, potato receipts rose 3.5% from 2012 to $1.04 billion. Producers reported planting 140,644 hectares of potatoes in 2014, down 2% from 2013. The decreases were mostly due to cuts in processing contract volumes in Manitoba (MB).

In 2014, Canada set a new yield record for the second consecutive year, which offset most of this year’s 2% acreage decline. Production reached 4,625,871 tonnes in 2014, down 1% from 2013 – Canada’s second largest potato production since 2009. The major producing provinces were Prince Edward Island (PEI) (26%), Manitoba (MB) (19%), Alberta (AB) (18%), New Brunswick (NB) (14%), Quebec (QC) (12%) and Ontario (ON) (8%).

Canada has been a world leader in the production of seed potatoes for more than 90 years and it is the fifth largest seed potato exporter in the world. About 150 potato varieties are registered in Canada for the production of seed. The varieties grown in each production area are selected to meet the needs of specific markets and local preferences. Russet Burbank, Shepody, Ranger Russet, CalWhite and Umatilla Russet are the main frying varieties; Superior, Atlantic, Kennebec and Snowden are the main chipping varieties; and Superior, Russet Norkotah, Chieftain, Yukon Gold, Norland, Ranger Russet, Goldrush, Sangre and Umatilla Russet are the leading table varieties. In the 2013–2014 crop year, exports of Canadian potatoes and potato products were estimated at $1.29 billion, up 12% from 2012–2013. Canada exported fresh potatoes (table stock and seed potatoes) worth $232 million and processed potatoes (frozen and other) worth $1.06 billion during that period. By far, the largest export destination for Canadian potatoes and potato products is the United States. Canada’s neighbour to the south takes in 85% of Canadian potato exports, which were worth $1.1 billion in 2013–2014. Japan (3%) and China (2%) are the second- and third-largest export destinations respectively, mostly because of the volume of processed potato products that Canada ships to those two countries. Canada imported a total value of $342 million in potatoes in 2013–2014. Of that amount, $239 million was for frozen and processed potatoes, and the remaining $103 million was for fresh potatoes ($100 million for table stock potatoes and $3 million for seed potatoes).

1 Vegetable receipts refer to market receipts or farm cash receipts, excluding program payments. They represent the income received from the sale of agricultural commodities. 2 The horticulture sector consists of greenhouse vegetables, other vegetables, potatoes, tree fruits, small fruits, floriculture, nursery, sod, Christmas trees, maple products, honey and ginseng.

Seasonal Review 2013 – 20143

Prince Edward Island (PEI) In PEI, the weather was favourable during the 2013 planting season. Processing contracts were settled prior to planting. Overall, contracted volumes for potatoes increased again over the previous year. Statistics Canada estimated PEI’s planted acreage in 2013 at 89,000 acres, down 0.6% from 2012. Growers experienced a better growing season than in 2012, although a prolonged dry period in the summer limited yields. The first load of new-crop potatoes left the province on July 12, 2013. Favourable weather conditions during the harvest period meant that almost no acres of potatoes went unharvested, giving us a 1.7% increase in harvested acres compared with the 2012 crop. Total production rose to 25 million CWT in 2013, up from 24.3 million CWT

4 in 2012 (a 3% increase). Statistics

Canada estimated yields at 281 CWT/acre. Tuber quality was generally good, and storability was much better than for the 2012–2013 crop. Prices for table stock potatoes increased significantly from 2012–2013 largely owing to a lower supply of potatoes in the western United States. Movement of PEI potatoes to the United States and to export markets was better than in 2012–2013 and the three-year average. Movement to Canadian markets was below average owing to a large table stock potato crop in central Canada. Overall, fresh movement was up 7% in 2012–2013. The average price for 10-lb paper bags during the 2013–2014 season was $1.89, up from the average price in 2012–2013 of $1.44.

New Brunswick (NB) The main varieties grown in NB for frying are Russet Burbank, Shepody and Innovator; the main varieties for chipping are Atlantic, Snowden, Tarnick and Monticello; and the main varieties grown for fresh are Russet Burbank, Russet Norkotah, Goldrush, Superior and Chieftain. In 2014, the acreage in NB was divided as follows: 61.7% for processing potatoes, 19.3% for fresh potatoes and 19% for seed potatoes. The 2014 NB potato planting season got off to a slower start than normal. A long cold winter led to soil temperatures not warming up until the last half of May. Once the growers got on the fields, favourable planting weather saw the majority of crops get into the ground on or around June 11. NB’s seed sector is coming off one of its strongest seasons in regards to PVY virus levels. NB seed growers using some of the industry’s best management practices saw a large amount of field lots with 0% virus readings. The 2014 NB fall harvest was held in almost-perfect weather conditions as the weather was ideal for digging in late September and early October. The main harvest period began the week of September 22, 2014. The province saw some frost that same week that shut some plants down a little earlier than expected and reduced yields on the affected fields. Harvest was completed by the 3rd week of October, and there have been no reports of any storage issues.

3 Most of the data are based on crop years that run from August of one year to July of the following year and are expressed as such

(e.g. 2013–2014). Data based on calendar years are expressed as a single year (e.g. 2014). Seasonal reviews were prepared by provincial organizations; see Key Resources. Seasonal reviews for Newfoundland and Labrador and for Nova Scotia are not available. 4 CWT: Hundredweight (short, US).

The 2014 NB potato crop is similar to the 2013 crop in terms of quality. Overall provincial yield averaged from slightly below average to very good, and quality was very good in all regions. Many growers in the more northern regions saw close to record yields along with very good quality. Growers in the southern growing areas experienced a very dry period in August and September and saw lower yields, but the crop quality is excellent. Potatoes that have gone to the province’s processing plants are showing very good quality attributes and payables.

Quebec (QC) In QC, 17,100 hectares were seeded in 2013. Temperatures were warm and dry after seeding, turning cooler with rain starting in mid-May. Overall, yields were above the average for recent years, and quality was good. Total production was 11,830,000 CWT, up 7.5% from 2012. Most of the crop (51%) was intended for the table potato market, 21% for pre-peeling, 17% for potato chip production and 11% for seed production. These proportions have remained relatively stable in recent years. After lower prices in 2012-2013, fresh market prices rose in 2013-2014, while pre-peeling prices remained stable. Chip potato contract prices rose slightly. The weather was cold and wet in early spring 2014, but temperatures began to rise in mid-May, which caused a 10- to 12-day delay in seeding at the start of the season. The favourable summer weather that followed made up for the delay and should result in good yields of very high-quality potatoes.

Ontario (ON) In 2013, ON potato growers produced 382,741 tonnes of potatoes from 15,176 harvested hectares. The value of the crop was just over $100 million. Approximately half of the crop was used for potato chips, and the rest was used for table consumption. The 2013 growing season presented its own unique series of problems. The season began with a long drawn-out planting season, which ran from the end of March to the beginning of July. The early crop suffered from a series of frosts in April and May. However, as the season progressed, the weather was ideal with timely rain and cool nights. The result was a bumper crop of good-quality potatoes. The frost setbacks in the early crop delayed harvest, and, as a result, all areas in the province were harvesting a heavy crop by August 1. The harvest season brought near-perfect weather until the 3rd week of October, when it turned wet and eventually cold. Approximately 500 acres were left in the field but, for the most part, yields were above normal and quality was excellent. Because the early crop was harvested late, all areas began marketing at the same time. This, along with an influx of Quebec potatoes coming into the Ontario market, depressed pricing. Although we saw a slight price increase in late spring, prices remained low throughout the marketing season and never recovered. The 2014 growing season started later than usual but planting proceeded in spite of less-than-ideal weather conditions. The growing season was cool and wet with little sunshine. Many low areas were flooded out or suffered water damage. In addition, late blight became a problem, especially in certain varieties. In the end, the cool, wet conditions resulted in a heavy tuber set and above-average yields are expected. Growers will have to carefully monitor their storages as a result of these conditions.

Manitoba (MB) Marketing of the 2013 crop was pushed approximately a week later into August. The near-record yields resulted in 1.3 million CWT in surplus of which about 50% was exported into the United States. Planting of the 2014 crop declined in volume by 13% to 63,350 acres owing to process contract volume being reduced. The bulk of the crop was planted after mid-May, 10 to 14 days later than normal. After a cold, wet start, ideal conditions through to the second week of August resulted in rapid crop development. Persistent rains delayed harvest and tested growers’ patience. In general, the harvest ended a week to ten days later than normal but bulking continued, resulting in a second year of above-average yields. The exception was the Winkler area, where the main fresh product is located. That area fared better with more ideal climatic conditions. Overall, strong yields resulted in some surplus although less than the previous year as growers continue to match production with contract volumes.

Saskatchewan (SK) The potato acreage in SK remained at about 7,000 acres in 2013. Despite spring arriving about two weeks late, yields managed to average roughly 275 CWT/acre. Overall, tuber quality was good. Table cull rates in 2013 were about 20% higher than normal because of a very dry September, which led to higher cold damage in some areas. The entire table crop sold with some sheds cleaning up one to two months earlier than normal. Prices were acceptable with growers receiving $14 to $15 per CWT pack out for table reds and $11 to $12 per CWT pack out for table russets. Post-harvest test readings on seeds were excellent, providing virus free seed potatoes for market. Seed sales and volumes were strong with prices holding from the previous year. There was an unusually high snowfall in the winter causing yet another late spring in 2014. Soil temperatures in parts of the province finally reached 10 °C during the May long weekend. Some fields dried up and were planted while others were left to summer fallow due to extreme spring run-off. June rainfall was 1.5 times higher than normal while July rains and flooding hit some regions hard. In some areas, as much as 15% of the crop was lost owing to high water tables and pooling water. As much as seven inches of rain were recorded in some areas around the July long weekend.

Alberta (AB) AB’s 20,685 hectares produced over 828,850 tonnes in 2013. The industry continues to contribute over $1 billion of economic value to the AB economy. The processing industry saw a reduction in acreage of about 1,250 hectares, this mainly owing to the overproduction from the year before and the ever-decreasing North American consumption of processing potatoes. The overseas Asian market continues to grow though, which is promising for the AB industry. A good spring with rather uneventful planting weather led the way to a very bizarre summer in southern AB. Extreme wind, hail and high humidity took its toll on some of the acres. Some acres were lost, and many growers had to deal with an increase of late blight. This is something that AB growers are not accustomed to, but the last three years have seen an increase of the pathogen across the province. The seed growing areas of the province had a great year with excellent growing conditions and yields that were indicative to their growing season, with AB seed acres rising in 2013 by about 100 hectares. The fresh market’s increase in 2013 of about 200 hectares is a very bright spot for this sector as the AB fresh acreage was at one time about 4,000 hectares, which is considerably more than the current day total of about 1,200 hectares.

5

Although total production was down, AB still experienced an overall increase of about 6.5% in total production per hectare. AB’s 2014 planting season started out cool and wet with the province getting started about two weeks later than normal. We had a good growing season, but late August rains and an early September frost hurt the crop in southern Alberta.

British Columbia (BC) The weather during the 2013 production period was average. As often happens, a mild spring with rain showers led to normal challenges for growers to get into the fields early. No major difficulties were experienced though, and production progressed more rapidly as the familiar summer drought weeks in July and August provided the crop with the heat it needed to mature and size up. The summer was warm but not exceptionally so. Early potato quality was satisfactory to good, and later-developing varieties such as whites, reds, yellows and russets came into harvest production by mid-August along seasonally normal expectations. As usual, by late August, the rains returned and were heavy at times in September. It is almost always a challenge in the Fraser Valley and on Vancouver Island to get through the entire harvest without some concern over too much rain hampering digging owing to saturated fields. This occurred as one expects; however, except for a few small fields, intentionally left for fresh harvesting as late as possible, all were stored by the third week of October. An unremarkable spring 2014 season saw most varieties being planted on time. A few growers were delayed in isolated locations in the Fraser Valley because the rainy weather had caused wet fields, but this was limited. The growing season was long, sunny and reasonably warm from start to finish with very little rain. In the interior, it was hot and dry. Potatoes sized nicely and no major problems were encountered once the growing season began. A few Fraser Valley growers reported potatoes appearing more mature coming out of the ground as digging progressed; this was probably due to the prolonged dry growing conditions. All growers in the interior have adequate irrigation to counter this effect as they experience it annually. The lower value of the Canadian dollar in 2014 placed BC growers in a more competitive position against the eternally-present low-priced U.S. imports from Pacific Northwest, U.S. Though this is positive for BC growers, it only became more significant in January 2014 after half of the harvest had been sold. As has been occurring in the past few years, early and white potatoes faced increasing volumes of competing U.S. similar variety supplies in the stores, and their prices were down 5%-7% from the previous year. By comparison, reds, yellows and russets had a better-than-average year with regard to price and were a quarter to one-third higher than the previous difficult price year and higher by 10%-20% compared with the prior three-year averages for each type. Overall, 2013–2014 was a decent crop year for the prices earned by the province’s potato growers.

Note:

The crop year price is calculated as follows: (((farm cash receipts + income in kind) (* $1000)) / ((production –

(production * 13.5%))) where 13.5% represents historical average of cullage and seed potatoes that are used from

producers’ own stock as well as seed potatoes that are sold from one farm to another farm in the same province that are

removed from production when estimating marketed potatoes.
