Fredericton, New Brunswick – Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
New Brunswick potato producers who endured extraordinary costs resulting from excessive moisture during last year's growing season will have access to financial assistance starting this November.
The 2023 Canada-New Brunswick Potato AgriRecovery Initiative will compensate eligible potato producers for the extraordinary costs incurred to grow, harvest, store or dispose of last year's potato crop.
AgriRecovery is a disaster relief framework to help agricultural producers with the extraordinary costs associated with recovering from disasters. Its initiatives are cost-shared – 60% federally and 40% provincially/territorially – as outlined under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership.
The program will offer up to $25 million in funding provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the Department of Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries through the AgriRecovery Framework.
