March Holdings Report/Bulletin de l’inventaire pour mars (FR)

Total Canadian Potato Storage Holdings on March 1, 2024 totaled 64,025 million cwtwhich is up 10% over March 2023 but slightly below the five year average. We havesomewhat of a repeat this month with Quebec, PEI and New Brunswick all showinglower stocks compared to the same month last year mostly due to good disappearance inFebruary and higher cull rates in the eastern provinces due to the wet growing seasonand harvest causing some issues in storage. The higher stock levels seem to still be inthe western provinces and mainly in the processing sector. Although Ontario, Albertaand BC, as well as Quebec this month, did show higher stocks in the Fresh sector, inoverall numbers fresh inventories are down 5.9% for the country and the sector seems tobe fairly well balanced for this time of year.

Au 1er mars 2024, les stocks canadiens de pommes de terre totalisaient 64 025 millions dequintaux, ce qui représente une hausse de 10 % par rapport à mars 2023, mais une légèrebaisse par rapport à la moyenne quinquennale. Le Québec, l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard et leNouveau-Brunswick affichent tous des stocks inférieurs à ceux du même mois de l’annéedernière, principalement en raison d’une bonne disparition en février et de taux de réformeplus élevés dans les provinces de l’Est en raison de l’humidité de la saison de croissance et dela récolte, ce qui a causé des problèmes d’entreposage. Les niveaux de stocks les plus élevéssemblent encore se trouver dans les provinces de l’Ouest, principalement dans le secteur de latransformation. Bien que l’Ontario, l’Alberta et la Colombie-Britannique, ainsi que le Québecce mois-ci, aient affiché des stocks plus élevés dans le secteur de table, dans l’ensemble, lesstocks de produits frais sont en baisse de 5,9 % pour le pays et le secteur semble assez bienéquilibré pour cette période de l’année.
