1538年,当今哥伦比亚中部山脉的一位西班牙游客注意到当地人种植了"一种土地里的松露"这可能是马铃薯。事实上,哥伦比亚位于安第斯山脉马铃薯起源和驯化中心的北部边缘。
尽管"土地里的松露"对于哥伦比亚的许多小农来说仍然是一种维持生计的作物,它也是安第斯地区最大的商业马铃薯产业的焦点。2000年,马铃薯产量超过280万吨,主要原因是每公顷产量约17吨,远高于玻利维亚、厄瓜多尔和秘鲁的产量。自那以后,收获面积从17万公顷减少到11万公顷,2007年的产量为190万公吨。
马铃薯主要生长在中科迪勒拉和东科迪勒拉山脉海拔1800米至2300米的地方。自20世纪90年代以来,马铃薯加工量迅速增加,占总收成的12%至14%。 (来源:国际马铃薯年)
