The International Potato Tour (IPT) has been recognized by the industry and audience as a standout initiative in potato farming and processing. We will celebrate this achievement during the YUGAGRO exhibition in Krasnodar. I’m inviting partners, colleagues, and friends to meet on November 19 at the venue to discuss collaborations, media coverage, and upcoming visits within IPT.

Industry recognition

The AGROLEADER 2025 organizing committee announced our victory in the public vote for the “Potato Growing — Small Enterprise” category. This recognition highlights IPT’s contribution to the potato sector and the promotion of best practices among growers, processors, and technology suppliers.

When and where in Krasnodar

Award ceremonies will be held within the international exhibition YugAgro (Krasnodar):

  • November 20, 13:00–16:00 — awards for related categories (seeds, crop protection, machinery, IT, etc.).

I invite you to a personal meeting on November 19 at YugAgro to discuss joint content, visit schedules within the International Potato Tour, partnership packages, and media opportunities for companies from Russia and abroad.
