WHY IT MATTERS

Processing potatoes need consistent raw material, and seed quality decides how much of a crop meets the factory’s requirements. Traceability and sustainability data are increasingly asked for by buyers. For growers, processors and traders in South America and beyond, a producer who works on both the seed and the processing side offers a practical view of what the chain needs. Cardoso joins the panel alongside Sergey Averin and Agnieszka Tołłoczko-Wróbel, who were introduced earlier.
