Prince Edward Island Potatoes information


Heather Moyse, Brand Ambassador for Prince Edward Island Potatoes

Prince Edward Island Potatoes (also known as PEI Potatoes) refers to the brand and geographic identifier for potatoes grown and packaged in Prince Edward Island, a Maritime Province on the Atlantic coast of Canada.

In a similar fashion to potatoes grown in other parts of North America (such as Idaho), Prince Edward Island Potatoes are marketed and trademarked as being grown in the unique growing conditions and climate of Prince Edward Island. Prince Edward Island's growing conditions are characterized by warm summers, relatively cold winters, significant natural precipitation, and a unique red soil high in iron oxide. These conditions reduce the need for continuous irrigation and help to reduce the prevalence of production limiting diseases and pests while providing the right temperatures and soil conditions for profitable potato production.[1]
