Continuation. Start here
At the end of October, a group of representatives of companies participating in the potato market, wishing to evaluate the achievements and prospects of the specialized sub-industry in the Middle Kingdom, went on a week-long trip to China, organized by the Potato System magazine and Agrotrade Group of Companies with the support of the POTATOES NEWS portal.

– There are a lot of impressions. It was interesting to see how the process of growing potatoes is organized in the leading country in terms of production volumes of this crop and to find out that the level of work of our farmers is noticeably higher.
Chinese potato varieties aroused great interest; more than 60 of them were presented at the exhibition, and at least 30 were presented at the Center for Selection and Seed Production. It’s a pity that our tour of this institution was not very long; I wanted to ask many more questions.
But the most important result for me was meeting other members of the group, highly professional specialists who are passionate about their work. I hope our communication will continue in the future.
