The Horizon 2020 EU project Accelerated Development of multiple-stress tolerAnt PoTato (ADAPT), in which Europatat is participating, aims at developing new strategies to make potatoes fit for the challenging growth conditions of the future.

Potato company HZPC has named Dr. Marie Rasochová (80) as Potato Woman of the Year 2018. She is a great promotor of potatoes in the Czech Republic.

The Czech Potato Research Institute in Havlíčkův Brod has announced that it has bred a new potato variety they named “Val Blue”. And yes! It has a striking blue-purple colour.

Científicos checos están examinando patatas traídas de América Latina con el fin de ennoblecer la especie centroeuropea. La nueva variedad, que debería ser más sabrosa y resistente, podría deleitar el paladar de los checos dentro de unos 10 años.
