Market Data
According to a Potato Market Information Review 2022-2023 presented by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, “Canada is a net exporter of potato and potato products and the U.S. is by far the most important market for Canadian potatoes. In 2022/2023, Canada exported $57 million for seed potatoes, $617 million for fresh potatoes, $2.3 billion worth of french fries and 339 million for other processed potato exports to all countries.”
The U.S. fruits and vegetables market was valued at USD 96.26 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1% from 2024 to 2030. Grand View Research shows that consumers are increasingly investing in their health by seeking fresh fruits and vegetables for a healthy diet.
With the rise in obesity rates and growing awareness of the benefits of a healthy diet, about 52% of Americans followed a diet or eating pattern in 2022, up significantly from 2021, according to the International Food Information Council.

Cancellation policy
The Group Export Agri-Food is a non profit organization who manages export financial programs from the ministère de l’Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l’Alimentation du Québec and from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
As an administrator of government programs, Group Export had to implement a cancellation policy which applies for trade show participation. Policy’s details are as follows:
When a participation or registration form is completed by a representative of a company, this company becomes liable to the Group Export Agri-Food, as this form is a contract between the company and the Association.
- In the five days following registration, the company must pay, as a deposit, 50% of participation fees. This amount can either be paid by check, direct deposit or credit card by contacting the Group Export’s financial department at 450-649-6266.
- Direct deposits are preferred.
- The remaining 50% of participation fees must be paid at least 60 days before the activity.
- If the company does not respect these terms, Group Export Agri-Food has the right to cancel the company’s participation.
- When a company is cancelling its participation:
- If the company or Group Export Agri-Food finds a replacing participant, the full amount will be reimbursed, except for a $200 administration fee, as soon as the replacing participant has paid in full the amount due.
- In case a substitute cannot be found, all other incurred charges, including 100% of the invoice for a space reservation, would be charged to the company.
All cancellations must be made in writing and be addressed to the person in charge of the trade show, whose name appears on the registration form.
This policy was endorsed by the Group Export Agri-Food’s Board of Directors, on February 14, 2008.
