The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is reporting the discovery of potato wart in two fields on Prince Edward Island. While the potatoes did not leave the island, Canada has suspended exports of seed potatoes from the province to the United States. The National Potato Council is asking Canada to voluntarily suspend all potato exports to the U.S. and restrict the movement of potatoes from Prince Edward Island within Canada to prevent disease transmission across the border.
