This month in CHIPS
The year has barely begun and persisting challenges seem no less daunting. Producers must consistently face issues relating to rising input costs, politics, and load shedding. It may be true that times are indeed tough for the country as a whole, but now is not the time to lament the current hardships. Instead, we should do our best to focus on what’s ahead.
This year, Potatoes SA – through CHIPS – will continue to stand by producers and other value chain role-players to ensure that 2023 is a year of planned success and greater resilience, which will allow farmers to continue producing even under unfavourable conditions. South African agriculturists are known for their resilience and adaptability, and their willingness to do whatever it takes to put food on the table. This is proven in every issue of CHIPS. This month, read all about the EU Green Deal, potato price drivers, dry matter content, biannual plantings, and the power of potassium in potatoes.
