Tuber quality

  • Chapter
The Potato Crop

Part of the book series: World Crop Series ((WOCS))

Abstract

The potato is one of the world’s major staple food crops and produces more dry matter and protein per hectare than the major cereal crops (Burton, 1989). The main production areas are in Europe and the USSR, which account for nearly 56% of the world acreage and 58% of output. Poland has the greatest production in Europe (1981/82: 33.6 million tonnes) and although a large proportion is used for stockfeed and industrial starch, consumption is estimated to be 121 kg head−1 year−1 ( Horton and Fano, 1985). In western Europe, Great Britain, with an annual per capita consumption in 1988 of 115 kg, is the only country with increasing consumption (Potato Marketing Board, 1989). In contrast, North America accounts for about 3% of the world acreage but 6% of production, most being consumed as processed product. China produces 55.8 million tonnes from 5.65 million hectares and the International Potato Center (CIP) has programmes to improve potato production in the sub-tropics and tropics.
