The Manitoba potato industry — from seed producers to those who grow the main crops — is scrambling to adjust to news that the companies they supply are slashing orders, leaving them facing potentially huge losses.

Four major potato processing companies, McCain Foods, Cavendish Farms, Lamb Weston, and J.R. Simplot, are accused of price-fixing in a class-action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court.

The J.R. Simplot Company has named G.Rey Reinhardt as President of its AgriBusiness Group. Reinhardt will take over for Doug Stone who announced his retirement earlier this year.

The processed potatoes market size is forecast to increase by USD 45 billion at a CAGR of 5.34% between 2024 and 2028. Market expansion is contingent on several factors, such as an increasing emphasis on expanding production capacities for potato processing.

A sustainable business. A healthy planet. A responsibility to all. Purposeful actions that benefit our world and the bottom line ensure successful operations at Simplot now and well into the future.
