WPC Welcomes The Quebec Potato Board as Gold Member
President Peter VanderZaag of the World Potato Congress Inc. recently announced that ties with the WPC are continuing to grow, and welcomed the Quebec Potato Board as a Gold member.
“As we step away from a highly successful Congress in Australia in 2024, our sites are set on the June, 2026 Congress in Poland and that excitement is building. We are excited to have partners like the Quebec Potato Board joining us in supporting our global potato industry initiatives,” VanderZaag mentioned.
The Quebec Potato Board (PPTQ) represents potato farms cultivating nearly 19,000 hectares of Quebec land. The PPTQ is dedicated to the well-being of Quebec potato growers. They work to ensure Quebec producers receive maximum income for their high-quality potatoes and provide them with the tools to advance agronomic science, refine production techniques, improve company profitability.
“We’ve always believed that it’s fundamental to bring potato producers together to promote excellence in potato production and marketing; driving innovation, sustainability, and quality in Quebec agriculture. We lead targeted collective actions to support the growth and profitability of the sector. Our growers are committed to their industry and continue to invest in its future. As the potato industry evolves, the PPTQ will remain a steadfast advocate, representing their interests and promoting sustainable development,” Peter VanderZaag concluded.
Today, PPTQ group includes approximately 230 active members.
