The impact of disease spread into the U.S. would be absolutely catastrophic for American potato growers and the entire North American potato value chain that relies on foreign markets. The USDA report combined with continued discoveries of potato wart in PEI fields validates NPC&#8217;s position that the 2021 PEI export ban was entirely appropriate and our concern that reopening the export market before the completion of comprehensive testing was premature and put our industry at risk.&#8221; \u2013 NPC CEO Kam Quarles<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning, media reported on another potato wart find on Prince Edward Island, Canada (&#8220;CFIA identifies fourth potato wart case,&#8221; peicanada.com).
