Canadian growers harvested a second consecutive record potato crop in 2022, as production rose 0.8% year over year to 123.0 million hundredweight due to slight increases in both seeded area and yield. Alberta (+8.9% to 26.8 million hundredweight) and Manitoba (+4.9% to 26.1 million hundredweight) both reported record production, as seeded areas rose to meet growth in processing demand. Alberta (21.8%) produced the largest share of Canadian potatoes, followed by Prince Edward Island (21.6%) and Manitoba (21.3%).
