Production

Since 2020, Ukraine has entered the three-top potato-producing countries and is not leaving its position despite the war and a full-scale invasion in 2022.

Potato, as a crop, take the fourth place in terms of cultivation in the world.

Potato production in Ukraine reaches more than 20-22 million tons every year, of which only 1-2% are grown by industrial enterprises.

Despite the occupation of the territories of Ukraine, where potatoes are traditionally grown, production volumes do not decrease from year to year due to the increase in potato yield.

The basis of high productivity is the use of the most suitable for growing conditions varieties with high genetic potential and compliance with the technology of growing the variety.

There are also new challenges related to climate changes both in Ukraine and in Europe, namely prolonged heat and drought. Necessity of rational use of new technologies in potato production, in particular drip irrigation and soil nutrition systems.

Agrico Ukraine makes an important contribution to the development of potato growing by presenting the best breeding varieties of the Kingdom of the Netherlands on the market of Ukraine, introducing and popularizing innovative approaches in potato cultivation.
