RPE Canada partners with Canadian farmers to deliver locally grown potatoes

As an international leader in the potato industry, RPE Canada says it is working alongside Canadian farmers to deliver fresh, high-quality potatoes to retailers nationwide.

The company says its grower-first approach ensures that Canadian consumers have access to locally grown potatoes, while retailers benefit from a trusted, year-round supply.

“Canada’s potato farmers are the foundation of our success,” Drew Callaghan, executive vice president for RPE, said in a news release. “When Canadian retailers partner with RPE Canada, they’re not just sourcing potatoes — they’re supporting hardworking Canadian growers and strengthening the local food supply chain.”

Through a dedicated network of Canadian farming families, RPE Canada sources, packs and distributes a variety of locally grown conventional and organic potatoes, ensuring that retailers can offer their customers high-quality products with a fresh farm-to-shelf experience, the release said. Whether it’s baby potatoes, russets, reds, yellows or organics, the company says its Canadian grower partnerships provide a diverse selection in multiple pack sizes to meet the needs of every grocery store and shopper.

With full-time Canadian team members like Stephen Hillion and Cliffton Smith, RPE Canada says it is deeply connected to the Canadian market. By working hand-in-hand with growers and retailers, RPE Canada creates localized programs that prioritize Canadian-grown supply first, whenever possible, the release said.

RPE Canada says it invites visitors to booth No. 101 at thethe Canadian Produce Marketing Association Convention and Trade Show, set for April 8-10 in Montreal, to meet its team, hear the stories of Canadian potato growers and explore the full selection of locally grown potatoes available to Canadian retailers.
