A network of passionate families
The idea was born from a group of visionaries sharing the same passion: potato farming. Since 1979, more than 10 potato farming families, spread across Quebec, have come together and decided to join forces by creating Propur. The goal was to preserve the family farm model while adapting to the current market.
A leading player in Quebec's potato market, our organization represents over 2,000 hectares of cultivated land and 150 million pounds of potatoes harvested annually. Our production, storage, and packaging capacity make us the largest marketing organization owned by Quebec producers.
By joining forces, we can now offer consumers several high-quality potato brands as well as seed potatoes for producers.
A partnership that helps us all grow, together.

At Propur, innovation and authenticity go hand in hand.
- We may be committed to the family farm, but that doesn’t mean we are afraid to innovate! Creating the Mamzells brand to put potatoes back on Quebecker’s plates or by investing in a new state-of-the-art packaging centre are but two examples of how we are moving forward.
- By joining the forces of its growers, Propur has positioned itself as the largest potato marketing organization in Québec.
- Propur offers its members training to help them implement good environmental practices.
- Propur contributes to Quebec's food autonomy by creating a competitive alternative to potatoes coming from elsewhere in North America. Local agriculture helps reduce GHG emissions from transport and boosts the local economy.
