CANADA FRAMLEIÐIR
ÚTSÆÐISKARTÖFLUR
FYRIR ALLAN HEIMINN
Canada hefir ávalt flutt út matvöru til
annara landa. Hið norðlæga svalviðri í
Canada, hefir reynst óviðjafnanlegt varðandi
framleiðslu heilbrigðra kartaflna, og leitt til
þess að slíkar kartöflur vegna gæða eru nú
nú útbreiddar vítt um jarðir. Ár hvert flytur
Canada út miljónir af úrvals útsæðiskar-
töflum til að birgja upp mannkynið af nauð-
synlegri fæðu.
