Prince Edward Island Shipping

Loadings of potatoes from shipping points on Prince Edward Island in Eastern Canada are about 30 percent ahead of normal this season.  Few spuds are shipped year around out of here, with most product finished by June.  However, due to brisker than usual loadings, shipments will probably end weeks early than normal.  This is primarily due to fewer potatoes and loadings originating from New Brunswick, as well from Aroostrock County, ME.  Thus, buyers are ordering more potatoes from PEI.
