19世纪早期,马铃薯被引入朝鲜半岛,可能是从中国引进的。1910年至1945年日本占领朝鲜半岛期间,马铃薯取代出口到日本的大米成为主要作物,并在第二次世界大战期间拯救了许多农场家庭,使他们免于饥饿。
马铃薯仍然是朝鲜重要的粮食安全作物。2007年,马铃薯产量估计为190万吨,使朝鲜成为亚洲十大马铃薯生产国之一。
自1960年以来,马铃薯种植面积从3.6万公顷增加到近20万公顷,而马铃薯产量在过去十年中增加了四倍。
然而,农民种植的马铃薯平均产量几乎没有超过1960年的水平,主要是由于农业投入不够和缺少脱毒种薯。为了促进生产,政府正在推动马铃薯种植革命,其中包括低投入的马铃薯与水稻复种模式的创新,在相对较短的生长季节,每公顷可产出32吨马铃薯和大米。
