Overview

Potatoes are the fifth largest primary agriculture crop in Canada (after canola, wheat, soybean, and corn), contributing approximately $2 billion in farm cash receipts in 2023. The value of potatoes and potato products exports rose 8% from 2022/2023 to reach over $3.6 billion in 2023/2024^{Endnote 1}. In addition, potatoes are the largest vegetable crop grown in Canada, accounting for 29% of all vegetable receipts ^{Endnote 2} and 17% of all horticultural^{Endnote 3} receipts.

Potatoes also make a significant contribution to provincial agricultural sectors; for example, in 2023, potatoes contributed over 55% of the total farm cash receipts in Prince Edward Island, and 22% of the total farm cash receipts in New Brunswick. Manitoba and Alberta also have sizable potato sectors with higher total potato farm cash receipts than both Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick; however, potato farm cash receipts represent only 4% and 2%, respectively, of the total farm cash receipts for Manitoba and Alberta.

In Canada, potatoes are generally planted in the spring and harvested throughout the late-summer and fall. Potatoes are produced for 3 uses: seed, table market, and processing (frying, chipping, dehydration and others) and the relative importance of each sector differs greatly by province. Each category is comprised of unique end-uses and markets.

In 2023, potato growers across Canada produced approximately 5.8 million metric tons of potatoes. Canadian potato production is truly national, with production distributed across the country from coast-to-coast. Production on an area basis is distributed as 35% in Atlantic Canada, 21% in Central Canada, and 44% in the Prairie Provinces and British Columbia. The main producing provinces by volume were Alberta (24%), Manitoba (23%), Prince Edward Island (20%), New Brunswick (12%), Quebec (10%), and Ontario (7%).

Approximately 68% of the total production in 2023 was destined for the processing sector, 21% for the fresh/table sector, and 11% for the seed sector. Most processing potatoes are used to produce French fries, chips, and other processed potato products. The main French fry processing provinces, by volume, are Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, while Ontario has the largest potato chip sector. Processing plants are usually located close to where production occurs. These processors offer contracts to potato growers for production of the quantities and varieties required, in advance of the growing season. Most growers have state-of-the-art storage and are responsible for keeping good quality potatoes as required by the retailers and processors.

Approximately 150 seed potato varieties are registered in Canada for commercial production. Alberta (27%), Prince Edward Island (21%), Manitoba (16%), Quebec (12%), and New Brunswick (10%) were the largest seed potato producing provinces in 2023.

Canada is a net exporter of potato and potato products and the U.S. is by far the most important market for Canadian potatoes. In 2023/2024, Canada exported $50 million of seed potatoes, $493 million of fresh potatoes, $2.7 billion worth of French fries and $424 million of other processed potato exports to all countries.

In 2023/2024, the U.S. market represented 96% ($48 million) for seed, 93% ($457 million) for fresh and 91% ($2.4 billion) for French fry exports. During the same period, Canada imported a total value of $456 million worth of potato and potato products from the U.S., accounting for 85% of total imports from all countries ($534 million). Of that total imported value, $440 million was in processed potatoes ($126 million for frozen French fry and $314 million for other processed potatoes). The remaining $94 million was in fresh potatoes ($80 million for table stock potatoes and $14 million for seed potatoes).

Canada accounts for approximately 2% of global potato production. China is by far the leading producer of potatoes with 25% of world production, followed by India (15%) and Ukraine (6%).

Worldwide, Canada is among the top 10 exporting countries for table stock and seed potatoes. In 2023, in terms of value, Canada ranked 4th in table potato exports, totalling $580 million, and ranked 7th in exports of seed potatoes with a value of $53 million.

Conversely, Canada ranked as the 13th largest importer of table potatoes in terms of value at $112 million, and ranked 17st globally for seed potatoes with imports totaling $13 million.

Belgium was the largest importer of table potatoes as well as the largest importer of seed potatoes in terms of value, while France was the largest exporter for table potatoes and Netherlands was the largest exporter of seed potatoes.
