Suriname

In Suriname, potato cultivation is relatively limited due to the country's tropical climate and soil conditions, which are not favorable for large-scale production. As a result, the country relies heavily on imports to meet domestic demand. Common imported potato varieties include Yukon Gold, Satina, and Dutch Baby, known for their adaptability and desirable culinary qualities.

Despite the limitations in potato farming, Suriname’s agricultural diversity includes root crops like sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), which is widely cultivated and contributes significantly to food security and rural income generation.

The main institution responsible for agricultural research in the country is the Centre for Agricultural Research in Suriname (CELOS), affiliated with the Anton de Kom University of Suriname.
