Winter 2023 Issue

In the winter 2023 edition of Spud Smart, we’re taking a closer look at organic potato production in Canada. While organic potato growers are seeing increased demand, there’s still lots of issues to contend with in the industry. Organic fresh potato growers are seeing opportunities abound with the stats to prove it, but they don’t have to use organic seed potatoes which is leaving the organic seed potato industry in the dust.

This issue includes stories updating on the potato wart situation in Prince Edward Island and a new storage disease to be on the look out for — rubbery rot. We also have a feature story on the Potato Sustainability Alliance and our annual look at what new potato varieties are available for the upcoming growing season.
