About CPAC

The Colorado Potato Administrative Committee (CPAC) was founded in 1941 with the key goal of organizing the then more than 175 Colorado Potato Growers and Colorado Potato Shippers throughout Colorado under a common purpose and industry.  Self-regulation and quality standards; production practice management, legislation, marketing, and research funding are some of the key functions of CPAC.  


 Today, CPAC represents a smaller grower and shipper group in both its Regions (San Luis Valley and Greeley) reflecting a consolidated marketplace, but its 175  members and dedicated staff represent a dynamic force working together for the future of the entire potato industry.
