Original Note:
PEI potato exports were halted in Nov. 2021 due to detection of potato wart, in order to prevent spread of the disease in Canada and abroad. The U.S. indicated they would implement an import ban if Canada did not take action. Federal relief was provided to farmers. https://www.potatopro.com/news/2021/cfia-announces-measures-prevent-spread-potato-wart-pei https://www.canada.ca/en/food-inspection-agency/news/2021/11/potato-wart-in-pei.html https://inspection.canada.ca/plant-health/invasive-species/domestic-plant-protection-measures/potato-wart-order/eng/1637345349606/1637345350810 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/pei-potato-exports-bibeau-1.6292393
