We celebrate South African potatoes from farm to fork. Potatoes are the fourth most significant crop in the world after maize, wheat and rice. This makes potatoes the number one unrefined food crop globally. Welcome to your one-stop portal of choice for all things potatoes – from recipe inspirations, to health and nutrition, news and events, and potato related competitions. We trust that you will enjoy your experience and connect with us even more on our digital platforms.
