The Canadian courts have reviewed the export restrictions of Prince Edward Island seed potatoes. In the fall of 2021, potato wart was found on the island which shut down the movement of all potatoes. Those restrictions ended nearly one year ago for fresh potatoes, but the movement of seed potatoes is still banned. The PEI Potato Board is in court to get the export restrictions lifted and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is defending its action. It’s not known when the courts will decide.
