It is the responsibility of the Canadian Potato Council (CPC) to implement the desires of the CHC Potato Committee. The CPC is made up of 16 elected provincial representatives who meet as needed to deal with business as it arises. To assist the CPC in their decision making, there are ten working groups/committees tasked with conducting in-depth analysis of matters affecting the industry and making recommendations to the CPC. The working groups and committees are as follows:
- Seed Potato Sub-Committee
- Bacterial Ring Rot (BRR) Working Group
- Export Development Strategy Working Group
- Quality Assurance Working Group
- S. Cairns Chipping Potato Research Committee
- On-Farm Food Safety (OFFS) Working Group
- Research Working Group
- Business Risk Management/Compensation Working Group
- Phytosanitary Certificates
- Potato Cyst Nematodes (PCN) Taskforce
- Late Blight Working Group
On issues affecting the potato industries in Canada and the United States, the CPC works with the National Potato Council and meets with their representatives annually in November as the Canada–United States Potato Committee.
