Membership
We extend to you an invitation to follow the United Potato Growers of Canada through the newsletters, seminars and this website. Potato growers have been struggling for many years to receive a reasonable return for their product. In recent years, supply has been greater than demand, and growers have not been able to receive a viable price. Many growers have gone out of business. By joining United Potato Growers of Canada, you can stay informed, adjust supply, increase profitability and help bring stability to the industry. A stable industry is good for your operation and for the entire industry.
How to Join
United Potato Growers of Canada (UPGC), which represents 96 percent of Canadian potato acreage, was formed in 2006 in conjunction with United Potato Growers of America. We collect and disseminate market information so that you can better understand the market and maximize profitability. UPGC also organizes seminars across Canada where you can learn more about the market and gain insights from industry leaders and other innovative thinkers. The free seminars are also an opportunity for growers to learn the economic tools needed to help them better target prospective markets and meet customers’ needs.
