马铃薯在玻利维亚安第斯山脉种植了数千年,如今与大豆一起已成为该国最重要的粮食作物。种植马铃薯的农民大约有20万农民,种植面积大约13.5万公顷,种植者绝大多数是小农,他们种植马铃薯主要用于家庭消费。
大多数农民主要依赖能很好地适应玻利维亚"高气候风险"的传统品种。(尤其在高原上,马铃薯作物频繁遭遇冰雹、霜冻和干旱)。这些本地品种之一就是耐寒的"苦味马铃薯",这种马铃薯生长在海拔高达4300米的地方,被加工成被称为chuño的脱水马铃薯产品,该产品可以贮藏长达10年。
过去十年来,玻利维亚的马铃薯由于单位产量提高,马铃薯种植稳步增长,2007年产量为75.5万吨。然而,近期小麦和大米产品进口的增长给马铃薯种植者带来激烈的竞争,特别是在城区市场。(来源:国际马铃薯年)
