dc.description.abstractHistorically, Manitoba’s potato industry has been the second largest in Canada, after Prince Edward Island’s. From 1980 to 2018, we calculated that the approximate direct monetary value of funding into potato research was $5.91 million for projects that were either partially funded by the Governments of Manitoba and/or Canada or took place at the Canada-Manitoba Crop Diversification Centre. The Manitoba potato industry grew dramatically between 1990 to 2017. The cash receipt amount for potatoes in Manitoba increased by 695% from 1990 to 2017. In terms of the monetary value, the increase in dollar value from cash receipts from 1990 to 2017 was $224.69 million. The domestic export for potatoes from Manitoba has increased by 8,805% from 1990 to 2017. In this export, there was $480 million increase from 1990 to 2018. The objective of this impact report is to investigate and evaluate how research funding focused on potato production has contributed to the $1.4 billion Manitoba potato industry complex. The 38-year history of potato research in Manitoba as described here demonstrates that research funded by Manitoba Agriculture and other sources have contributed to the overall growth of the industry and to the economic strength of the province.en_US
