We are excited to announce the launch of a new section, “Mobile Reporter”, where anyone can become part of our team and share news and events from the potato industry! If you want to report on important events, innovations in your business, or just share interesting facts, now is your chance.

How to become a mobile reporter? The process is very simple:

  1. Record a short video about yourself (up to 1 minute), introducing who you are and why you want to become a mobile reporter.
  2. Submit your application via WhatsApp to +51 939995140.
  3. In the message, please provide your name and briefly describe your experience or interests in the potato industry.

What should the video include? Your video should be short, up to 3 minutes. At the beginning, explain what is happening in the video and what event or news you are covering. For example, it could be a report from a potato field, an interview with farmers, an equipment review, or a report on a significant industry event.

At the end, make sure to introduce yourself or the organization you represent. Finish with the phrase: “Specially for POTATOES NEWS.”
