Wyma Strengthens Support for North American Potato Industry

At Wyma, we believe that strong industry associations are vital to the continued success and innovation of the agricultural sector. That's why we're proud to announce our recent support for and membership with several leading potato industry organisations across North America. These connections allow us to understand better the unique challenges facing growers and packhouses, while providing our expertise in post-harvest solutions.

United Potato Growers of Canada (UPGC)

United Potato Growers of Canada serves as a national organisation promoting cooperation among potato-growing regions across Canada. They provide valuable market intelligence and data analysis to help Canadian potato growers make informed planting and marketing decisions. Their focus on sustainable growth and market stability contributes significantly to the strength of Canada's potato industry.

Potatoes in Canada

Potatoes in Canada is a premier industry publication dedicated to connecting potato producers with vital information, technology updates, and market insights. As a leading voice in the Canadian potato sector, they deliver essential content on production techniques, equipment innovations, and industry developments. Their commitment to knowledge sharing makes them an invaluable resource for everyone involved in potato production.

Prince Edward Island (PEI) Potato Board

The PEI Potato Board represents potato-growing operations on Canada's eastern shores. PEI's rich, red soil provides ideal growing conditions for premium potatoes, and the Board supports its members through targeted research, marketing, and advocacy efforts. Their commitment to quality and innovation aligns perfectly with Wyma's values.

Northland Potato Associates

Northland Potato Associates supports potato producers across Minnesota and North Dakota, a region known for its agricultural excellence. The organisation provides essential research, education, and advocacy services to its members. Potato varieties in this region require specialised post-harvest handling to maintain their quality, making Northland's work in advancing industry standards particularly valuable.

Wisconsin Potato & Vegetable Growers Association (WPVGA)

The Wisconsin Potato & Vegetable Growers Association represents growers and affiliates across one of America's top potato-producing states. WPVGA advances the interests of Wisconsin's producers through targeted research, education, and advocacy programs. Their commitment to sustainable farming practices and innovation has established the region as a leader in agricultural excellence.

Supporting Industry Excellence

We are honored to support these prestigious organisations and become more deeply involved with the North American potato industry. These associations represent the backbone of potato production across diverse growing regions, each with its own unique challenges and needs.

By supporting these organisations, we gain valuable insights into regional growing conditions, handling requirements, and processing challenges. This knowledge directly informs our equipment design and development process, ensuring that our solutions address the real-world needs of potato producers and packhouses.

We are not just an equipment manufacturer – we're committed partners in the success of the potato industry.

Looking Forward

As we strengthen our connections with these vital industry associations, we look forward to contributing our global expertise while learning from the regional knowledge of their members. Together, we can advance post-harvest excellence and support the continued success of North America's potato industry.
