Potato growers

Potato growers produce table potatoes, processing potatoes, and starch potatoes and are a vital part of the agricultural and food supply chain. This sector is heavily influenced by weather, plant health, storage properties, and market developments. At the same time, climate adaptation, efficient resource use, resilient crops, and professional crop and quality management are becoming increasingly important. Late blight, rising disease pressure, and significant market fluctuations due to acreage expansion and large harvests further increase the pressure to adapt. Farms in this sector must balance yield, quality, and profitability under volatile conditions. This ensures that the sector remains crucial for food security, reliable raw material flows, and a high-performing agricultural and food industry.
