Celebrating the International Day of the Potato – Friday 30 May

At GB Potatoes, we are proud to join the global celebration of the International Day of the Potato on Friday 30 May, recognising one of the world’s most important and versatile crops.

The potato plays a vital role in UK agriculture, food security, and rural economies.  From field to fork, our industry contributes significantly to the nation’s diet, providing a nutritious, affordable staple that’s enjoyed by millions every day.

This year’s theme highlights the need for innovation, resilience, and sustainability – values at the heart of what we do at GB Potatoes.  Whether it’s supporting research, championing growers, or ensuring the industry’s voice is heard, we are working hard to secure a thriving future for potatoes in Great Britain.

We are also delighted to support events like the NPIC webinar: “Potato – The Path to a Brighter Future”, showcasing cutting-edge science and collaboration across the sector.   Whether you’re a grower, researcher, policymaker, or industry stakeholder, this is a must-attend event to stay ahead of innovation in the potato sector.  Register now and be part of the conversation shaping the future of potatoes! – https://lnkd.in/er46yuNr

Let’s use the international day of the potato to celebrate the humble spud – and the hard-working people behind it.
