A 2022 Dublin Congress Success Story
The World Potato Congress mandate includes bringing together global knowledge, resources and expertise which in turn provides educational opportunities in such areas as seed production, pest and disease management, and the potato value chains. The potato is an important crop in feeding communities and providing income for farmers across all nations. We are grateful for the opportunity to share an example of the World Potato Congress’s reach contained within this recent publication, respectfully submitted by AgriCord.
