The countdown to the 13th World Potato Congress is well and truly on!

We are delighted to announce that delegates from 62 countries are already registered to join us in Naivasha, Kenya, from 26-30 October 2026.

This incredible international representation demonstrates what WPC 2026 is all about, bringing the global potato community together to exchange knowledge, discover new innovations, build partnerships and help shape the future of the potato sector.

From growers, researchers and agribusiness leaders to policymakers, development organisations, technology providers and industry professionals, delegates will come together from across Africa and around the world for five days of learning, collaboration and connection.

 

Why join us in Kenya?

 

WPC 2026 will feature a comprehensive international program exploring some of the most important opportunities and challenges facing the potato sector today, including seed systems, genetics, sustainable crop management, soil and water management, pests and diseases, smart farming, post-harvest solutions, climate resilience, research collaboration and much more.

Delegates will also have the opportunity to take learning beyond the conference room at our Farmers Field Day on 29 October, where 1,500+ farmers and international delegates will come together to see technologies, products and innovations working live in the field.

Technical tours, pre-Congress workshops, networking opportunities and meetings with potato professionals from around the world will make WPC 2026 a truly unique global gathering.

 

 

The Clock is Ticking!

 

With the Congress now just weeks away, we strongly encourage anyone planning to attend to register as soon as possible.

Availability for some additional Congress activities, including selected pre-Congress workshops and technical tours, is limited, and places may fill as we get closer to October.

62 countries are already represented. Make sure you are part of it.
