The Manitoba Potato Production Days offer both a Conference and a trade show

The Manitoba Potato Production Days started as Horticultural Production Days and has been held annually since 1973. The conference’s main objective is to communicate current and pertinent potato production information to producers. As well, it provides a venue for retailers to promote the latest in potato-production products and equipment.

The exhibits are located in the Manitoba Room, UCT Pavilion of the Keystone Centre
