Commercial Vegetable Growing No Longer Small Potatoes
Manitoba vegetable production has expanded from small plot farming to large scale, with 24 500 acres of commercial potatoes and 7 000 acres for processing. Prices rose, and new processing plants in Winnipeg Portage la Prairie and Carberry boosted markets.

Manitoba vegetables are set to rise further as storage improves and consumer demand for processed produce grows.
