Our Mission Statement
PNB is on our fourth three-year strategic plan. During each strategic
planning session, industry and government representatives carefully
reviewed the mission of PNB. Prior to our most recent strategic plan,
a detail grower survey was completed, so that we can continue serving
growers to our best ability.
Our mission statement sums up our
strategic planning discussions, “Potatoes New Brunswick is a
producer-driven organization working in close collaboration with
industry partners in advocating, coordinating, promoting and
negotiating and leading the growth and development of New Brunswick
potato producers”.
Our Vision
A central element of the strategic plan is a vision for PNB and the industry. Key features of this vision include the formation and maintenance of Partnerships, alliances and a spirit of collaboration to ensure industry growth.
New Brunswick’s potato industry is composed of a unique “cluster” of potato
technology. This cluster has resulted in our industry becoming an
innovator and leader in the growing of a quality product. In this
context, our industry cooperation is a valuable source, for market and
production technology information. Furthermore, PNB is adept at
recognizing and reacting to new and emerging market and consumer
trends. This ability leads to increasing demand in potato products
therefore ensuring a healthy potato industry in New Brunswick.
PNB's ability to fulfill its mandate focuses on seven critical areas. These include:
 |
Ensuring efficient and effective management and operations
of PNB; |
 |
Marketing and promotion of New Brunswick's potato
industry as industry leaders; |
 |
Providing growers with relevant and timely services; |
 |
Maintenance of ongoing communications with all industry partners; |
 |
Ensuring ongoing planning & development of PNB, the potato market and potato product; |
 |
Advocating on behalf of growers; |
 |
Representing growers in contract negotiations with potato processors. |
PNB's strategic plan was conceived as a document in need of continuous
renewal. PNB's Board members and Executive Director have committed
themselves to do so. Several of these priorities and Strategic
Objectives are under way.
